Mäkelä Conducts Symphonie fantastique

Love, witchcraft, murder — it’s all packed into Symphonie fantastique, Berlioz’s thriller about a lovesick artist obsessed with a young actress. Zell Music Director Designate Klaus Mäkelä leads this showpiece in all its psychedelic glory. There’s more drama in Harold in Italy, Berlioz’s Byronic tone poem featuring violist Antoine Tamestit’s “ferocity and panache” (BBC Music Magazine).
