Fantastique!

Experience the musical memories that shaped our new Music Director, Erik, as he takes you on an unforgettable symphonic journey! The Youngstown Symphony proudly celebrates his appointment with a program filled with the works that inspired his lifelong passion for music.

First, revel in the power of Richard Wagner's hero, Siegfried, before soaring with the iconic Olympic and E.T. music of John Williams. As a tribute to his mother's Finnish heritage, the first half concludes with Jean Sibelius's picturesque tone poem, Night Ride and Sunrise.

The concert’s finale is nothing short of a revelation: Hector Berlioz’s groundbreaking Symphonie fantastique. This groundbreaking 1830 masterpiece plunges listeners into a composer’s feverish, hallucinatory dreams of obsessive love. Through vivid orchestral storytelling, the music conjures dreams and dances, a wistful countryside, a thunderous march to the scaffold, and a wild, nightmarish Witches’ Sabbath.

Don’t miss this thrilling celebration of drama, imagination, and sound with a program that captures the heart of our new director and marks the beginning of an exciting new era for the Youngstown Symphony.
