SHOSTAKOVICH Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 35
The SOI Chamber Orchestra and Olga Kern will present Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in C minor, Op. 35, featuring piano, trumpet and strings. The concerto exudes a topical, light, humorous, satirical and eclectic personality, at moments reminiscent of a chase scene from a silent movie or a circus sideshow. The evening will also showcase the music of Jean Sibelius, a Finnish composer of the late Romantic and early modern periods, whose music is often credited with having helped Finland develop a strong national identity.
