QPO Presents: Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique

September 17, 2024 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM Qatar National Convention Centre, Auditorium 3

Join us for an exhilarating evening of orchestral works conducted by the talented Elias Grandy. This diverse programme showcases three distinctive compositions from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The concert opens with Prokofiev’s “Symphony No. 1”, known as the “Classical” symphony, a charming nod to Haydn’s style with a modern twist. Following this, Stravinsky’s “Jeu de Cartes” offers a playful and inventive ballet score inspired by card games.

Finally, prepare to be swept away by Berlioz’ revolutionary “Symphonie Fantastique,” a groundbreaking work that pushed the boundaries of orchestral music with its vivid storytelling and innovative use of instruments.
