Synopsis

This powerhouse combination of famed Greek violin virtuoso Leonidas Kavakos and SSO Music Director-designate Hannu Lintu is one you won’t want to miss. Witness the full fury and ultimate triumph of Shostakovich in his relentless First Violin Concerto as well as his Seventh Symphony. Recorded in the history books for its role during the devastating 872-day Siege of Leningrad, the Leningrad Symphony is famed for being played there in 1942 under desperate circumstances and deliberately broadcast over public radio in bitter defiance at the enemy.
