Program includes Dvořák’s Carnival Overture, Nielsen’s Flute Concerto (with soloist Cheryl Chang ’18) and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5.
FILIPPO CIABATTI conductor
Dvořák Carnival Overture
Nielsen Flute Concerto with Cheryl Chang ‘18 flute
Shostakovich Symphony No. 5
The Hop’s resident orchestra opens this concert with Dvořák’s explosively joyful overture, followed by a rippling, glowing concerto by Denmark’s most prominent composer, featuring a talented student soloist. The culmination is Shostakovich’s tremendous Fifth Symphony, written after he suddenly faced Stalin’s disapproval. Although appearing to adhere to strict Soviet cultural edicts, the work subtly conveys the despair and terror that reigned over the nation.
Pre-concert talk with Filippo Ciabatti, Faulkner Recital Hall, 7 pm.
