uniquely orchestrated compositions from two unique European masters of
twentieth century music. Deeply touched by his fellow composer’s death, and
scored for tubular bell and string orchestra, Arvo Pärt’s Cantus in
Memoriam Benjamin Britten is a mournful and meditative elegy.
Dmitri Shostakovich’s most extraordinarily scored symphony is his
Fourteenth. Written for two solo voices, string orchestra and percussion, this
work is a profound ode to the power of suffering and death. Presented in
original (Russian) language with surtitles in English. Kristian Alexander | conductorStephanie DeCiantis | sopranoJohn Holland | bass-baritoneMichael Berec | host In-person concert.In commemoration of the 20th anniversary
