Hans Graf and Vadim Gluzman – Beethoven and Shostakovich

Two titans of music, Beethoven and Shostakovich, and how they harness the expressive range of the orchestra, from pain to pastoral. In the hands of distinguished Ukrainian-born violinist Vadim Gluzman, the 1690 Stradivarius once owned by the legendary Leopold Auer will be your guide through the dark world of Shostakovich’s final concerto. SSO Music Director Hans Graf leads this concert of contrasts that features a new work by Singaporean composer Zechariah Goh, and Beethoven’s symphonic tribute to nature’s serenity.
