Gershwin: Concerto in F
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 10 in E minor, Op. 93
Tuesday, February 09, 2010
Our February program is a concert of contrasts. George Gerswin wrote his Piano Concerto in the heady days of roaring twenties, a freewheeling decade when American influence soared. Dmitri Shostokovich wrote his Tenth Symphony in the late forties and early fifties during the repressionist regime of Joseph Stalin, one of the darkest periods of modern Russian history. Where Gershwin’s work is free, easy and essentially American, Shostokovich’s is, by turns, pensive, dark, violent, and finally, optimistic. In this extraordinary concert, you’ll discover what links the two composers: their original approaches to rather traditional musical forms.
