The FSSO's 4th Symphony Concert for the year on Saturday 22 September will see the internationally acclaimed pianist Vitaly Pisarenkoperforming Shostakovich’s Concerto for Piano, Trumpet and Strings, Opus 31 with the FSSO’s Paul Van Zuilenburg as the trumpet soloist.
Shostakovich originally composed the concerto as an experimentation with a neo-baroque combination of instruments. Despite the title, the work might more accurately be classified as a double concerto rather than a piano concerto in which the trumpet and piano command equal prominence. The trumpet parts frequently take the form of sardonic interjections, leavening the humour and wit of the piano passage work.
The rest of the programme for the evening will also place a spotlight on the local talent of the Odeion String Quartet as well as a number of the FSSO’s principal players. Make sure you book your tickets soon - the concert promises to be an orchestral experience that will feel musically varied and poetically moving!
