Concert Recovered Voices: The Music of Poland 7 pm in Zipper Hall
Aleksandra Melaniuk, Conductor Alena Hove, Violin Martha Chan, Flute
Despite being a friend and contemporary of Shostakovich, the musical genius of Mieczysław Weinberg 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 concert is generously supported by Evelyn and Stephen Block, Raulee Marcus, and Abby Sher.
The Ziering-Conlon Initiative for Recovered Voices is made possible through the generous support of Marilyn Ziering and The Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Los Angeles alongside the many donors who are inspired by this incredibly important work at Colburn School.
