Utah State University Symphony Orchestra Presents Symphonie Fantastique
The Utah State University Symphony Orchestra presents Symphonie Fantastique at 7:30 p.m. in the Kent Concert Hall located in the Chase Fine Art Center on USU’s campus Dec. 8.
“Symphonie Fantastique, composed by Hector Berlioz, is one of the most representative early Romantic works,” said Sergio Bernal, USU Symphony Orchestra musical director.
According to Berlioz, the symphony tells the story of an artist gifted with a lively imagination who has poisoned himself with opium in the depths of despair because of hopeless love.
Ralph Matson, concertmaster of the Utah Symphony, Barbara Scowcroft, music director of the Utah Youth Symphony and USU Department of Theatre Arts faculty member Adrianne Moore are the featured guests.
Camille Saint-Saëns’ two works, Danse Bacchanale and Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, add to the special program of French music.
Tickets are $10 for general admission, $8 for seniors and youth, $5 for USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. Tickets can be purchased online at the CCA Box Office located in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, online through the college’s website or by calling 435-797-8022.
