Ani Aznavoorian plays Shostakovich
Saturday, August 24, 7pm (6:15pm pre-concert lecture with Classic KING FM 98.1s Lisa Bergman)
Maier Hall at Peninsula College
Sergei Prokofiev Sonata for Two Violins in C major, Op. 56 (1932)
Dmitri Shostakovich Sonata for Cello and Piano in D major, Op. 40 (1934)
Amy Beach Piano Quintet in F-sharp minor, Op. 67 (1907)
Composed just two years apart, Prokofiev's Sonata for Two Violins and Shostakovich's Cello Sonata capture the dynamic spirits of two Soviet contemporaries, both of whom were celebrated as national heroes by Stalin while simultaneously struggling to create under his oppressive regime. Ironically, Prokofiev died on the same day as Stalin, just hours before. Festival favorite Ani Aznavoorian returns to perform Shostakovich's graceful and lyrical Cello Sonata in D. The second half of the program features American composer Amy Beach's lush and romantic Piano Quintet in F minor. This underperformed masterpiece combines the language of Brahms with forward-looking harmonies and a uniquely American spirit.
