Symphonie fantastique, with Chopin at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts

Hailed by the BBC for his “incredibly moving” and “daring and creative” performances, pianist Andrew Tyson makes his KCS debut with his interpretation of Chopin. In a stark contrast to the first half of the program, guest conductor Jun Märkl brings a fresh interpretation of Berlioz’s frightening Symphonie fantastique. Be captivated by this amazing sonic spectacular complete with a glittering ball, a hero’s march to the scaffold, a pounding “Dies irae” and a tumultuous Witches’ Sabbath. The superb acoustics of Helzberg Hall are sure to bring out new colors and nuances. Bravo & Masterworks Series
