In Ulyanovsk will celebrate the 120th anniversary of Shostakovich chamber concert

The music of Dmitry Shostakovich will be performed on October 13 in the hall of the Noble Assembly in Ulyanovsk. The concert “Days of Shostakovich” (6+) will begin at 18:30 and will be dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the composer’s birth.

One of the main works of the evening will be the vocal cycle “Satire” (“Pictures of the Past”) for voice and piano. Shostakovich wrote it in 1960 on the poems of Sasha Cherny, turning to ironic sketches about the philistines and intelligentsia.

Also listeners will hear the first and second parts of the Sonata for cello and piano in D minor. The program included “The Song of the Girl” from the series “From Jewish Folk Poetry” and “Dragonfly and the Ant” from “Two Fables of I. A. Krylov”.

The works will be performed by soprano Margarita Dolgonenkova and Elmira Sidorov, pianist Ksenia Sokolova and cellist Valery Bushkova.
