Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, K. 488 (Michelle Cann, piano)
Dmitri Shostakovich — Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47
Michelle Cann performs Mozart's refined, radiant Piano Concerto No. 23 with former Seattle Symphony Conducting Fellow Lina González-Granados. Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony was written to satisfy Stalin's regime, yet within the complex beauty, forceful sonorities, and triumphant conclusion, the true voice of the artist cannot be denied. Nina Shekhar's Lumina explores the spectrum of light and dark.
Doors open 1 hour, 30 minutes prior to the performance.
