Subscription Q Berliner Philharmoniker Ensembles

Two concerts in the Subscription Q Berliner Philharmoniker Ensembles series demonstrate not only the clear differences in the musical language of Schoenberg and Shostakovich, but also surprising parallels.


Both composers processed deeply personal experiences in their music – for example, Schoenberg in his String Trio, which reflects a near-death experience, and Shostakovich in the Eighth String Quartet, which reflects his experiences with war and political oppression.
