The The 75th Fantastique! Concert launches the year-long celebration of three-quarters of a century of Cape Ann Symphony bringing world-class orchestral music to Boston's North Shore. Under the direction of Conductor and Music Director Maestro Yoichi Udagawa, the concert features an all-French masterworks program spanning from Lili Boulanger's shimmering D'un matin de printemps (Of a Spring Morning), a luminous impressionistic gem by one of the first women to win the prestigious Prix de Rome; to Claude Debussy's evocative three-movement seascape La Mer , painting the ocean from dawn to noon, the play of waves, and the dialogue of wind and sea in glorious orchestral color; and the program culminates with Hector Berlioz 's groundbreaking Symphonie Fantastique.

Cape Ann Symphony Music Director and Conductor Yoichi Udagawa is eager to begin this highly anticipated season, "A historic season deserves a fantastique opening concert and this exciting program of French masterworks delivers! Launching this Diamond Jubilee with such an electric program— beginning with Lili Boulanger's vibrant D'un matin de printemps; followed by the breathtaking, shimmering colors of Debussy's La Mer and anchored by the dramatic energy of revolutionary Berlioz's monumental Symphonie Fantastique— honors our rich musical past while showcasing the profound, vibrant energy of the orchestra today. The musicians and I cannot wait to share this magnificent music with our audience!"
