Russian Winter Festival: Masterworks Concerts

This two-part celebration offers the crème de la crème of Russia’s countless treasures including the elegant melodies of Tchaikovsky’s most beloved ballet, the riveting celebrations of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter Overture, and the vivid gallery of sketches that make up Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.

The second program of the Russian Winter Festival boasts two monumental scores—Rachmaninoff’s virtuosic and expansive Piano Concerto No. 3 (featured in the Oscar-winning movie Shine), and Shostakovich’s mighty Fifth Symphony, the bold piece in which he defied the brutal Soviet government at the risk of his own life.
