The Folsom Lake Symphony launches its 2026–27 season with a passionate and dramatic Opening Night program on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at the Harris Center for the Arts in Folsom.

The concert, titled “Symphonie Fantastique,” features acclaimed violinist Joshua Brown as soloist in Max Bruch’s beloved Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, followed by Hector Berlioz’s revolutionary Symphonie fantastique.

The pairing brings together two extraordinary expressions of Romantic music. Bruch’s Violin Concerto offers a lyrical and emotionally rich showcase for the solo violin, while Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique transports audiences into a vivid world of passion, obsession, hallucination and madness.
