Symphonie Fantastique, French Festival, Fuchs, and Biegel

8:00PM May 20 at the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling

This French inspired program connects various arts disciplines. The highlight of this concert is the co-commissioned Piano Concerto by Kenneth Fuchs written for Jeffrey Biegel. Mr. Fuchs was commissioned by the Wheeling Symphony to write Forever Free for West Virginia’s Sesquicentennial. The concert opens with Chabrier’s playful Joyeuse Marche while thoughts of love abound in Faure’s Pelléas et Mélisande. Continuing the theme of love, Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique will close the program and end the 2015-16 Season with tremendous power!
