SUMMARY:Impressions
DESCRIPTION:What’s this program about? \nImpressions features pieces that can be connected to a style of art that either influenced the piece directly or was heavily prominent in the region where it was created at the time it was written. Caroline Shaw talks about how she was inspired to write this piece after listening to the different “colors” of a Haydn quartet and her mission to take that idea even further into the technicolor. Rini aims to call attention to the importance of traditional art and its influence on how we live. There is an easy connection that can be made between her piece and the Javanese batik style. Ravel rejected the idea of being an impressionist but so did the painters of his time. At the end of the day\, it is clear to see how music and visual arts influenced each other. \nThe Music \nCaroline Shaw (USA) – Entr’act \nPeni Candra Rini (Indonesia) – Maduswara \nMaurice Ravel (France) – String Quartet in F Major \nCome Ready to \nMake connections between visual art and music\, explore different styles and traditions\, and create your own masterpiece. \nMusicians \nPeter Paetkau – Violin\, Thompson Wang – Violin\, Maureen Sheehan – Viola\, Nicholas Johnson – Cello \n*Concert will last approx. 1 hour

SUMMARY:Boston Festival Orchestra Chamber Series: Zara & Dmitri
DESCRIPTION:Join BFO Artistic Director Alyssa Wang\, BFO musicians\, and guest artists for an immersive chamber music experience that blends performance with thoughtful discussion\, inviting audiences to engage with the music’s historical\, cultural\, and emotional context. \nPROGRAM \nZara Levina\, Kanzonetta \nZara Levina\, Fantasy on Bashkir Themes \nDmitri Shostakovich\, Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor\, Op. 67 \nPERFORMERS \nAlyssa Wang\, violin \nSamuel Boundy\, cello \nJihye Chang\, piano \nABOUT THE PERFORMANCE \nTwo composers. One generation. Two remarkably different voices. \nDmitri Shostakovich is one of the most celebrated composers of the 20th century. Zara Levina\, though nearly his exact contemporary and a fellow Soviet composer\, remains largely unknown to American audiences. This concert brings their music–and their stories–side by side\, with the ideological pressure of state censorship ever present. \nLevina’s Fantasy on Bashkir Themes and Canzonetta reveal a composer with a vivid melodic imagination\, drawing on folk traditions\, Jewish themes\, and the rich musical language of her time. Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 2 moves from an eerie\, almost otherworldly opening through unbridled mania\, profound grief\, and a grotesque final dance that also incorporates Jewish themes. It is at once intensely personal and deeply connected to the devastation of the Second World War. \nThese three works illuminate the fascinating musical landscape of the Soviet Union through the eyes of a composer whose name became legendary and another whose music is only now beginning to receive the attention it deserves. Heard side by side\, their music raises questions that extend far beyond time and place: How can music be an act of defiance? How can it preserve what history tries to erase? Whose voices get remembered—and whose are left behind? \nTICKETS
