Shostakovich, On the Edge (24 preludes op. 34)
Ilya Blinov
Sponsored by Stephen Crocker
September 19 at 7:30 p.m.
In this narrated piano recital, the 24 Preludes takes us to the time of Shostakovich’s youth – the early 1930s. The times then were chillingly similar to our day, when the strongmen started taking over the world. How did he balance what he wanted to say with what the audience wanted to hear, and what the authorities tried to demand?
This performance is 1 hour and 10 minutes long, with no intermission, and is appropriate for ages 5 and up.
SecondStage | General Admission
$58 Regular | $42 Seniors (64 and over), Students (21 and under), and Children (12 and under)
Ticket price includes $3 Facility Use Fee
