Revel in the fantastic and magnificent over Halloween weekend. John Williams’ Devil’s Dance crackles with energy before Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain conjures supernatural frenzy. Prodigy Derek Wang dazzles with Liszt’s virtuosic Totentanz. Finally, Berlioz’s famous and feverish Symphonie Fantastique descends into hallucination and a haunting and visceral finale like no other.
