L¡¯amour in the City of Light! Fall in love with the sights and sounds of Paris through Gershwin¡¯s jazz-influenced An American in Paris.

Become immersed in the haunting tale of an artist obsessed with an unrequited love in Berlioz¡¯s programmatic dreamscape Symphonie fantastique which closes out the all-French program.
