Dutch Wind Ensemble Berlioz's Powerful Women

The Netherlands Wind Ensemble yearns, whispers, cries and moves with Berlioz's Powerful Women. With this performance, the Wind Ensemble follows in the footsteps of the eccentric composer. The revolutionary Symphonie Fantastique revolves around a strong but unattainable woman in a story full of obsession, madness, jealousy and murder. In La Mort de Cléopâtre, Cleopatra, a charismatic and fearless woman, chooses suicide over captivity, thereby taking her fate into her own hands. These masterfully orchestrated compositions have been transformed into a spectacular wind ensemble especially for the NBE. A powerful singer adds an extra feminine touch to this expressive performance, which is bursting with drama, desire and tragedy.
