Shostakovich to the power of 2

Shostakovich to the power of two, Demenga to the power of two! The renowned Bernese brothers with roots in Graubünden present both cello concertos written by Dmitri Shostakovich and thus a concert evening full of intensity and drama. The dancing virtuosity of the first concerto (Patrick Demenga) contrasts with the darkness and depth of the second (Thomas Demenga). Together, the two works provide a fascinating insight into the emotional world of the great Russian composer during the thaw period after Stalin's death. The concert evening will open with Igor Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite from the neoclassical ballet of the same name, based on a Neapolitan story.
