Music Director Fabio Luisi takes the podium for a spellbinding evening of drama and discovery, opening with a brand-new work by a composer exploring “the magic of everyday sounds.” Bravo! Vail Artist in Residence Hélène Grimaud performs Schumann’s only piano concerto, a piece which is almost chamber-music like in its intimate exchanges. Symphonie Fantastique draws on all the colors and power of the orchestra to conjure up hair-raising hallucinatory visions—truly an astonishing piece of music.
