The Mahler Chamber Orchestra with Beethoven and Shostakovich

The Russian composer mixes styles, playfully quotes familiar melodies, and delights in surprising. At the piano and conducting: Alexander Lonquich. Beethoven also subverts expectations in his energetic Symphony No. 8.


Leading the orchestra is Adam Fischer, who opens the evening with Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture – a dramatic tale of a tragic hero.
