NSO: Lio Kuokman conducts Shostakovich & Stravinsky

Two musical giants explore love, fear and make-believe.

Shostakovich’s Festive Overture bristles with vitality and wit, his First Violin Concerto searing and soul-bearing in music of fragile beauty, blistering emotions and thunderous defiance.

Stravinsky’s ‘ballet burlesque’ Petrushka brilliantly fuses  folk music and puppetry into a richly animated phantasmagoria.

‘Extraordinary’ (New York Times) violinist Karen Gomyo and ‘startling conducting talent’ (Philadelphia Inquirer) Lio Kuokman promise an evening to remember.
