About This Event

搁补肠丑尘补苍颈苍辞惫鈥檚 Symphonic Dances is a summation of his career, a whirling phantasmagoria of rhythm and melody. The Russian spirit also runs through both Shostakovich鈥檚 Festive Overture and his sardonically witty Cello Concerto No. 1. Gubaidulina鈥檚 Fairy-Tale Poem introduces a whimsical element, a sumptuous musical fantasy about the adventures of a piece of chalk.
