SUMMARY:Performance:Chicago Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Symphony Orchestra returns to Hill Auditorium for the first time in more than a decade\, under the leadership of Zell Music Director Designate Klaus Mäkelä.\n\nMäkelä made his thrilling UMS debut with Orchestra de Paris in March 2024\, just a few weeks before he was appointed to the Chicago post. He conducts Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7\, a work written in 1812 during the Napoleonic era with Beethoven conducting its premiere at a charity concert for wounded soldiers\, and Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique\, a revolutionary work composed just a few years after Beethoven’s death.\n\nBerlioz composed the work when he was just 27 years old\, creating a dreamlike\, hallucinatory world that mythologizes the fevered dreams of an artist who has poisoned himself with opium in the throes of unrequited love. Inspired by his own obsessive love for the actress Harriet Smithson\, who ultimately became his wife\, Berlioz uses radical orchestration\, bold narrative\, and psychological depth to trace the protagonist’s descent from infatuation into delusion and nightmare in this thrilling and imaginative score.\n\nLooking for free student tickets? All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!
