Welcome to Berlioz 150

 

Berlioz 150 was set up to mark the 150th anniversary in 2019 of the death of the French composer Hector Berlioz, with the vision of:

”INSPIRING YOUNG PEOPLE WITH A LIFELONG LOVE OF MUSIC AND SINGING”

 

During 2019 we focused on promoting performances, events and publications featuring Berlioz.  We have now shifted our emphasis to two major projects designed to pursue our vision, both branded Fantastique!:

  • Fantastique! for Schools: creating free downloadable learning resources for schoolchildren aged 8–13, based on Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, for delivery either online or in the classroom.
  • Fantastique! Live: the largest-ever children’s choral event in the UK, with a target of 10,000 singing children, planned to take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff in 2022.
