Acknowledged internationally as one of the most talented conductors of the new generation, the German Eckehard Stier presents his personal take on Berlioz's emblematic Symphonie Fantastique, a landmark in 19th-century music. The concert's three remaining works—two of which feature the celebrated clarinettist, Dimitri Ashkenazy—provide us with the perfect opportunity to familiarize ourselves with different aspects of the music produced in France during the turbulent 20th century.
