The Philadelphia Orchestra
This season the fabulous Philadelphians perform works that evoke surreal images and stories. Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique depicts a fanciful journey through an artist’s dream-turned-nightmare with music Leonard Bernstein once described as “the first psychedelic musical trip.” Stravinsky’s own visions of a savage pagan celebration inspired Le sacre du printemps, a work that has risen from the ashes of its riot-inducing premiere to become “a magnificent musical masterpiece of the 20th century” (NPR).
