Symphonie Fantastique

The Mobile Symphony Orchestra’s 2024-2025 season ends in a blaze of glory, highlighting three masterful French composers. Maurice Ravel’s La Valse opens the concert with its intoxicating whirl of waltzes, shimmering with kaleidoscopic colors. The music first draws us into a world of swirling dance and poignant nostalgia — and then devolves into a stunning depiction of the devastation of the early 20th century.
