This bewitching masterpiece by Berlioz tells the tale of an artist who becomes unraveled by unrequited love. Also, see your friends and neighbors on the stage as “citizen musicians” perform with the North Carolina Symphony during “Play with the Pros.”

The warmth and rejuvenation of spring come alive in selections from Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony and Sketches from Pinehurst, by North Carolina native and NCS veteran Terry Mizesko—plus music celebrating nature by Copland, Mendelssohn, and more!

Wesley Schulz, conductor

The North Carolina Symphony—along with guest conductor Brent Havens and a full rock band—gets in touch with the dark side. Laser lights are perfectly choreographed to Pink Floyd’s timeless classics, such as “Another Brick in the Wall,” “Comfortably Numb,” “Wish You Were Here,” and “Money.”

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing, the North Carolina Symphony will journey through space and beyond—featuring music from Star Wars, Holst’s The Planets, and more—plus, costumed Star Wars characters from the 501st Legion will be on site for photo opportunities and the Morehead Planetarium will bring astronomy activities.
