$25-$128

Claude Debussy — Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune ("Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun")
Toru Takemitsu — Far Calls. Coming, Far!
Ernest Chausson — Poème, Op. 25
Hector Berlioz — Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14

Berlioz paints a portrait of obsessive love with opium-fueled visions of cinematic realism, featuring haunting ballroom waltzes, a march to the guillotine, and maniacal witches' dances. Opening the program, Debussy's tone poem heaves with hazy sensuality, and violinist Carolin Widmann explores nature and love in works by Takemitsu and Chausson.

Runs May 18-20.
