About the composer: Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–1975) was a towering figure of Soviet-era music, navigating political pressures while maintaining a candid, personal artistic voice. His late period is marked by concise forms, sharp musical quotation, and an economy of means that invites careful listening. Symphony No. 15, completed in 1971 and premiered in Moscow in 1972, stands as a quintessential example of his final creative phase.

Why see Shostakovich Symphony No. 15 live? The quartet of movements, roughly 43 minutes, weaves quotations from Beethoven, Rossini, Wagner, and Shostakovich’s own output into a densely allusive landscape. The attacca transition between the 2nd and 3rd movements creates a dramatic binding thread, making live performances especially gripping. Expect a performance that is non-programmatic yet richly expressive, reflecting personal and political subtext characteristic of Shostakovich’s late style.

Upcoming tour highlights: Look for performances by major orchestras worldwide, including the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra at Heinz Hall (Jan 31–Feb 2, 2025) and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra at Powell Hall (Dec 5–6, 2025).
