The City of Angels Welcomes Moscow’s Finest – RSO @ UCLA

classical, contemporary
Schoenberg Hall

In the second concert of their residency at UCLA, the Russian String Orchestra, directed by Misha Rachlevsky, performs professor David Lefkowitz‘s Zachor, a piece commissioned and premiered by RSO in 2017, as well as two works by professor Richard Danielpour that the orchestra recorded in Moscow in April 2017. Also on the program are works by Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky, which are a testament to RSO’s Russian lineage, and Arnold Schoenberg’s Verklarte Nacht, a tribute to the composer for whom UCLA’s Schoenberg Hall is named.

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 2018-2019 Dobrow Series.
