Concert information
Info
Humor and wit shape this concert programme by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. The mood is set by Dmitri Shostakovich’s Concerto for Piano and Trumpet, which opens with a cheeky Beethoven quote. The Russian composer mixes styles, playfully quotes familiar melodies, and delights in surprising. At the piano and conducting: Alexander Lonquich. Beethoven also subverts expectations in his energetic Symphony No. 8. Leading the orchestra is Adam Fischer, who opens the evening with Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture – a dramatic tale of a tragic hero.
