Mustonen's Shostakovich

Pianist, conductor and composer Olli Mustonen has a very special relationship with Russian music, especially that of Shostakovich.

He will demonstrate this tonight in an almost all-Russian programme, from the raw emotion of Tchaikovsky’s star-crossed lovers, via Borodin, to Shostakovich’s brightest symphony, which contemporary critics compared to Mozart – Shostakovich-style, of course.

Appropriately, Mozart’s ‘Coronation’ concerto completes the programme.
