Performer: Quatuor Danel

The combined forces of the Gewandhaus and Boston Symphony unite under Andris Nelsons for a searing Leningrad Symphony, while the Quatuor Danel tackles the string quartets. 

At Wigmore Hall, Quatuor Danel act as agent-provocateurs to make a persuasive case for the shared sensuous aesthetics of Shostakovich and Weinberg.

A truly committed performance of César Franck's Piano Quintet, a work that is played too rarely and is often misunderstood by performers and audience alike. 

Led by Andris Nelsons, together with the Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Shostakovich festival presents almost the composer’s entire output, from 15th May to 1st June 2025.
