"Spend an evening with the bad boy of 19th century music, Hector Berlioz, and two epic works based on his own life experiences. Head-turning violist Nokuthula Ngwenyama leads us through Harold in Italy, a unique tone poem-concerto inspired by its composer's stay in Rome. Our own viruoso musicians will be featured in Symphonie Fantastique, a piece whose title tells you everything you need to know about it.

"Join us before the concert at 6:30 p.m. for Concert Conversations in Jebe Hall. Stay after and enjoy drinks, desserts, and live music in the lobby during our Fíne celebration." This concert will be broadcast on Iowa Public Radio March 4 and 5, 2012.
