On the program, the "5th Symphony" by Prokofiev, "5 Fragments" by Shostakovich, and other 20th Century works.
The program features two complete violin concertos: Mozart's 3rd and Shostakovich's 1st and a quantity of smaller pieces and excerpts for violin.
Wolfgang's "3rd Violin Concerto", Camille's "5th Piano Concerto" and more, including Sunday's “From the Stage at Krannert Center: Song and Poetry with Nathan and Julie Gunn and the Jupiter String Quartet”.
Preceding Marc Blitzstein...there'll be chamber music by Finnish composers.
Music tonight by Franck, Chausson, Prokofiev, and Julian Anderson.
Mahler's "Das Klagende Lied" is less often heard because of the forces required to perform it: vocal soloists, chorus and orchestra.
These programs are partially sponsored by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
