UCLA Philharmonia begins its 2024-25 concert season with a program commemorating 50 years since Dmitri Shostakovich’s death. It juxtaposes two works defining the composer’s unnerving relationship with Josef Stalin — the transgressive Ninth with the terrifying Tenth.
Repertoire:
Dmitri Shostakovich
Symphony No. 9 in E flat major, Op. 70 (1945)
INTERMISSION
Dmitri Shostakovich
Symphony No. 10 in E major, Op. 93 (1953)
UCLA Philharmonia is the flagship orchestra of the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, and one of Southern California’s premiere training orchestras. Focusing on both the core symphonic and operatic repertoire, and the best in contemporary and rarely-performed works, Professor Neal Stulberg has led the group since 2005.
This event is made possible by the David and Irmgard Dobrow Fund. Classical music was a passion of the Dobrows, who established a generous endowment at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music to make programs like this possible. We are proud to celebrate this program as part of the 2024 - 25 Dobrow Series.
