| Cheltenham Town Hall, Cheltenham GL50 1QA, United Kingdom Saturday 6-Jul-13 07:30pm A Britten Double Bill & Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony Chetham’s, in Manchester, is one of the world’s finest specialist music schools—and so it may easily lay claim to having the best school orchestra in the world. In this concert, they bring together two composers who, for the final decade and a half of their lives at least, became great friends and musical confederates. Years before they did meet, in 1959, they wrote these three very different pieces—two of which at least, Shostakovich’s 5th symphony from 1937 and Britten’s Young Person’s Guide from 1946, have become firm fixtures of the orchestral repertory. Britten’s Violin Concerto, premiered in New York in 1940, is performed here by the hugely-talented 16 year-old, Callum Smart—a Chetham’s student and winner of the strings category of BBC Young Musician in 2010. | ||

| Royal Albert Hall, London, Kensington Gore, London SW7 2AP, United Kingdom Saturday 24-Aug-13 07:30pm Prom 56 Founded by Claudio Abbado in 1986, the pan-European Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester remains one of the most musically exciting and technically polished youth orchestras in the world. Tonight, Philippe Jordan directs the GMJO in the overture to Wagner’s Rienzi and Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, written in an atmosphere of intense scrutiny and artistic repression, after the public denouncement of his opera The Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District. Ravel’s jazz-inflected Piano Concerto in G major completes the programme, with the flamboyant French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet as the soloist.Tickets £9.50 - £46. | ||

| Wolkenturm, Grafenegg, Grafenegg, Austria Friday 30-Aug-13 07:15pm Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra The second evening with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra under its Music Director Manfred Honeck takes us from Grafenegg to Russia. The young virtuoso Yuja Wang will interpret Tchaikovsky’s famous Piano Concerto No. 1. This is preceded by politically explosive material: in «Komarov’s Fall», Brett Dean commemorates the first cosmonaut, who died in space. The Soviet state apparatus risked a man’s life to celebrate Lenin’s anniversary. In an intelligent balancing act, Dmitri Shostakovich often expressed his critical stance vis-à-vis the powers that be in the form of music too, as, for example, in his Symphony No. 5. | ||

Barbican Centre: Hall, LondonShostakovich's Symphony no. 5 |

![]() | ||
| Barbican Centre: Hall, London, Silk Street, London EC2Y 8DS, United Kingdom Wednesday 26-Mar-14 07:30pm Shostakovich's Symphony no. 5 Esa-Pekka Salonen’s 2009 award-winning Violin Concerto ‘Out of Nowhere’ is a portrait of the phenomenal soloist Leila Josefowicz, who will give this UK premiere. Praised at its LA Philharmonic premiere for its ‘pure, euphoric poetry’, it’s a work which lends itself to Josefowicz’s visceral intensity. In its pulsing central movements, we may find echoes of Sibelius’s driving repetitions in his dark re-telling of Pojhola’s Daughter, in which the daughter of the north, astride a rainbow, mocks the love-lorn Väinämöinen. This concert ends with one of Shostakovich’s most popular symphonies, No. 5: its heroic classicism may have effected the composer’s political rehabilitation, but its essential defiance comes blazing through. Tickets £10 - 32. | ||
