Dmitri Shostakovich: The Complete String Quartets
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
The Lafayette String Quartet celebrates its 30th anniversary with the complete cycle of Shostakovich's 15 String Quartets presented over 5 evenings!
Journey through Shostakovich’s life as experienced through his string quartets — from the innocent optimism of the first to the desolation and hopelessness of his final quartet. This cycle documents Shostakovich’s creative life and spans his compositional career from the late 1930s until his death in 1975. The Lafayette String Quartet will share its special heritage with these works as received from their mentor Rostislav Dubinsky who knew and worked closely with Shostakovich.
With pre-concert talks and guest lectures by Michelle Assay (Université Paris-Sorbonne), David Fanning (University of Manchester), Judith Kuhn (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), and Patrick McCreless (Yale University).
