PROGRAM
WEINBERG Concertino for Violin and String Orchestra WEINBERG Flute Concerto No. 1 WEINBERG Chamber Symphony No. 1
Despite being a friend and contemporary of Shostakovich, Mieczysław Weinberg and his musical genius went unrecognized for much of the 20th century due to Soviet-Era suppression. This concert highlights three of Weinberg’s more than 150 works: a playful flute concerto, a concertino for violin and string orchestra, and a dramatic chamber symphony. This performance will be livestreamed.
