Hsin-Yun Huang, viola
Ignat Solzhenitsyn, piano

Dmitri Shostakovich – Suite on Verses of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Op. 145
Dmitri Shostakovich – Viola Sonata, Op. 147

Experience the brooding majesty of Shostakovich’s last works in this collaboration between the commanding Solzhenitsyn, master violist Huang, and Grammy-nominated baritone Barrad. Containing profoundly personal meditations on love, creativity, and mortality, Shostakovich’s song cycle leads into the extraordinary atmosphere and tension of the Viola Sonata, Op. 147, the composer’s final musical utterance.

The livestream will take place at 7:30pm Eastern / 4:30pm Pacific. The video will remain available for 72 hours after each performance, subject to the approval of the artists.
