    About This Event

    Visions of chaos give way to a diabolical scene in a musical thrill-ride that takes us from creation itself to the wild dances of a Witches' Sabbath. Jean-F茅ry Rebel's suite The Elements is one of Baroque music's most unusual works, opening with a vivid portrait of Chaos. The same audacity surfaces a century later in Berlioz鈥檚 quasi-autobiographical Symphonie fantastique, whose large orchestral forces and colourful textures make it a perfect fit for the Royal Albert Hall.

    Star cellist Alisa Weilerstein is soloist for the UK premiere of Pascal Dusapin鈥檚 nature-inspired concerto Outscape 鈥 a work written for her 鈥 while her brother, rising young star Joshua Weilerstein, conducts.
