On this Halloween night, we are getting slightly spooky with our Evening Masterwork: the Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz. The work is largely programmatic and even thought to be autobiographic: in it, a young and sensitive artist experiences a series of opium-induced visions related to an unattainable love. The Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz, our Evening Masterwork tonight at 7, on Classical WSMR.
