The power of Shostakovich
Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10
Unfortunately, this concert has already taken place. But not to worry! We will be playing many more concerts soon.
This concert is part of the Sunday Matinee series.
Conductor Yutaka Sado’s return to The Hague is, in itself, something to look forward to. With his international flair and immediate musical energy, he leads a program that sweeps you away in one go. From Copland’s imposing brass, we move on to the passionate sounds of Barber. We arrive in the dark world of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Tenth: a symphonic thriller full of menace, memory, and explosive liberation.
Today, Sado brings together a dynamic interplay of styles. The afternoon opens with Copland’s iconic *Fanfare for the Common Man*; originally written in 1942 in honor of the “common man,” it is scored purely for brass and percussion, full of open, powerful sounds. Next, violinist Paul Huang shines in Barber’s lyrical, melancholic Violin Concerto. A work that balances between understated poetry and exuberant virtuosity, with a narrative arc that is stretched ever further. Culminating in Shostakovich’s soundscapes of turmoil, power, and inescapable emotion, this concert forms a journey through hope, stillness, and catharsis.
