Twisted Cognition with Stratus Chamber Orchestra

  • Augustana Arts 5000 East Alameda Avenue Denver, CO, 80246 United States (map)

Enter a soundscape where love, madness, and sleeplessness collide in a dazzling storm of music. The night opens with the world premiere of Joshua Decker’s Symphony Insomnia — a relentless, pulse-pounding dive into the brain’s late-night chaos. Schumann’s Piano Concerto follows, weaving delicate beauty and stormy passion, with virtuoso Bryan Wallick at the keys.

But the climax? Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, a wild, theatrical masterpiece that shatters the line between fantasy and nightmare - a piece about romantic obsession and its dark twists and turns. Come for the beauty, stay for the madness — this concert promises to take you on a journey through the emotional corridors of the mind.

  • Symphony Insomnia by Josh Decker (15 minutes)

  • Piano Concerto in A Minor, op. 54 by Robert Schumann featuring Bryan Wallick (33 minutes)

  • Symphony Fantastique, op. 14 by Hector Berlioz

Concert vibe: intriguing, emotional, thrilling, heart-pounding.

We want all audience members to feel welcome and comfortable, whether this is your first orchestra concert or your 50th. If you have any questions about what to expect, read our Concert FAQ here.
