David Serkin Ludwig
3:00 PM | CONCERT 1: From the Motherland
The voices of three of the giants of early 20th-century Russian culture traveled distinct paths, each indelibly shaping performers and composers throughout the rest of the world. Stravinsky and Rachmaninov fled the 1917 Russian Revolution and ultimately settled in the United States, while Shostakovich remained in his homeland, fighting for artistic freedom in the face of Soviet government persecution. The two classically-structured duo works on this program are balanced on the second half by Rachmaninov’s epic trio that is a loving elegy to his mentor Tchaikovsky.
