Experience an evening that combines the emotional depth and historical power of Dmitri Shostakovich. The Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Andris Nelsons presents the 1st Violin Concerto, in which Baiba Skride shines as the soloist. This demanding work, originally composed in 1947 and revised in 1955, unfolds an emotional journey of passion and pain.
Shostakovich's 11th Symphony "The Year 1905" follows after the interval, a powerful musical depiction of the Russian uprising of 1905 that captures the legacy of a revolution with dramatic force and deep historical resonance.
