Program Gustav Holst: Ballet Music from The Perfect Fool
Jean Sibelius: Violin Concerto Angelika Strub, Winner of the MNSOTA Concerto Competition Hector Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique
Concert Description
Berlioz created special connections between music and human beings. His
music is paintings of the human soul, emotion, imagination, as well as
tangible objects and characters including the ballroom, damsels,
shepherds, or the guillotine! Symphonie Fantastique is a fantasy novel in
sound, with attractive and mythical characters, an involved and dramatic
storyline as well as deep human emotions and thoughts. In the same
concert we also meet the Perfect Fool, the main character of the comic
opera by Gustav Holst which brings supernatural imageries of spirits of
Earth, Fire and Water. Come share with us a concert of fantastic
allegories and fantasy--not least the fantastic talent of our annual
concerto competition winner!!
