Don’t Miss Out On This Unique Concert


Ensconced in the pantheon of 20th-century composers, America’s Aaron Copland, England’s Benjamin Britten, and Russia’s Dmitri Shostakovich have each come to symbolize his respective country’s quintessential “national” sound and received high honors in their homelands.

Ironically, each came under suspicion of disloyalty by their governments, with Shostakovich, at times, fearing for his life. This program offers a sonata by each, with violin, cello, and viola taking featured turns.

Experience three enduring sonatas composed by three of the 20th-century’s greatest icons.
