JEFFREY KAHANE, MUSIC DIRECTOR
Beethoven and Shostakovich
June 7 | Sarasota Opera House
Conductor Stephanie Childress leads a joyful program anchored by Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2—his last in the style of Mozart, written on the cusp of his growing deafness. New SMF Piano Faculty Artist Nicolas Namoradze performs Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concerto, a buoyant work the composer wrote for his son’s 19th birthday. The program opens with Armenian-American composer Mary Kouyoumdjian’s Diary of an Immigrant, described as 'an imagined journal entry by a hope-filled someone.'
“… a peerless poet… a sumptuous pianist, a sound philosopher…”
