Symphony: Symphonie Fantastique

Brainerd, MN

Sun Jul 27, 2025 - 3:00PM

Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts, Brainerd, MN

~1 hour, 50 minutes including intermission

An impassioned artist, legendary women, and a wizard in training.

Rich with magical characters and riveting storytelling, our season opens with two of the most spellbinding orchestral works of all time. Enchanted broomsticks spiral into chaos in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, bringing whimsical mischief to life. Hector Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique sweeps us into a vivid opium-fueled hallucination, journeying from the heights of unrequited love to the depths of a fiery inferno. Let your imagination run wild as our all-star orchestra brings musical sorcery to life.

Christian Reif, conductor
