Mark your calendars for the 2024 Bard Music Festival, a celebration culminating in two weekends which will explore the many strands of Berlioz’s contributions and his crucial role in the musical life of nineteenth-century Europe and of today. A singular composer, writer, and conductor, Hector Berlioz (1803–1869) is the definitive Romantic composer. Drawing music and sound into dialogue with a wide range of cultural, political, scientific, and literary currents, the impact of his musical thinking and innovations is felt to this day. Ticket prices and showtimes vary.
