OVERVIEW

Deeply thoughtful conductor Markus Poschner returns to explore the theme of self-reflection, opening with a soul-stirring violin concerto by Hollywood-favorite composer Kris Bowers (Bridgerton, The Color Purple, Green Book). Performed by Charles Yang, For A Younger Self takes listeners on a journey of reminiscence and self-discovery as the music mirrors the experiences and aspirations of youth.

Then enjoy the wild ride of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique, a work that revolutionized storytelling through music. What begins as a daydream in the countryside and waltzes at a grand ball turns quickly into a fantastical nightmare complete with witches, in this vivid and radical telling of a man’s love obsession—or was it Berlioz’s own romantic infatuation that inspired this work?
