Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra plays Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony on Thursday, April 29, at 7:30 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. Daniil Trifonov joins in for Prokofiev's ferocious Second Piano Concerto. Tickets run $20.95 to $110.25.
This program runs hot and restless. Dobrinka Tabakova's Orpheus' Comet opens with a grand fanfare rising out of fluttering orchestral textures. Trifonov brings electrifying virtuosity to Prokofiev's Second Piano Concerto, and Bignamini and the DSO close with Shostakovich's Fifth, ending in a fireball of light.
A 30-minute pre-concert talk starts one hour before the music at Orchestra Hall. Seating for it is general admission, so you can try a different spot than your ticket. The concert is part of the PVS Classical series.
