Music Director Rossen Milanov brings back the Winter Music Festival with stunning works by Soviet-era masters to warm up a cold January night. The “electrifying and flamboyant” Dmitry Shishkin performs Prokofiev’s witty Third Piano Concerto, called “the most beautiful modern concerto for piano” when it premiered in 1921. Shostakovich’s popular Fifth Symphony begins with an icy and mysterious theme in the first movement and ends with a powerful and (seemingly) triumphant D-major finale. The concert opens with a new co-commissioned work by Paola Prestini, a composer “known for pushing the boundaries of classical music” (Wall Street Journal) with music that is “otherworldly…outright gorgeous” (New York Times).
