Half Six Fix: Varèse & Berlioz

,Barbican Hall
Composer François-Xavier Roth

Arcana came to its composer in a dream. Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique is more like a nightmare. Tonight’s Half Six Fix is about imaginations running off the leash.

In revolutionary France, a roaring mob surges around the guillotine. A century later, Edgard Varèse dreamed of incandescent colours, stormy seas and powers capable of transforming the world. These are astonishing sounds for a rush-hour concert – but why squeeze onto the tube when you could be exploring the universe?
