A program that pulses with a restless, fiery spirit. In Dobrinka Tabakova’s Orpheus' Comet, a grand fanfare emerges from fluttering orchestral textures. Daniil Trifonov brings electrifying virtuosity to Prokofiev’s ferocious Second Piano Concerto. Bignamini and the DSO capture every ounce of power in Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, ending in a fireball of light. | Join us for a pre-concert talk 1 hour before most performances.
