The Trojans

Summer Nights

Symphony No.3 in C minor Op.78

Pallavi Pawar

Approved

Berlioz’s music from The Trojans opens this concert with dramatic and powerful music that captures the thrill of the hunt and the fury of nature in a mythic landscape. Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été then offers a contrasting experience — a dreamlike journey through songs of love, longing, and the beauty of summer nights. Each melody is a brushstroke in this impressionistic portrait of human emotion and the changing seasons.

A highlight of the evening is Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3, the ‘Organ Symphony’. This masterpiece is unique not just in its grandeur and complexity, but in its incorporation of the organ, creating a sound that is both majestic and deeply moving, and resulting in a truly immersive experience. The organ’s rich tones, combined with the vibrant orchestral textures, create a symphony that resonates not just in the concert hall, but in the heart of every listener.
