Shostakovich & Rachmaninoff

Prepare for a powerful night with the Oregon Symphony, led by conductor Shiyeon Sung. You’ll hear Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 11, “The Year 1905,” a musical portrayal of strife leading up to the Russian Revolution. It’s intense. Also on the program is Donghoon Shin’s Kafka’s Dream, a piece inspired by a surreal story from Jorge Luis Borges.

Then, pianist Marc-André Hamelin joins for Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Expect keyboard pyrotechnics, melodic passion, and humor in this exhilarating joyride. It’s a classic for a reason. Don’t miss it.
