Music by Shostakovich, Ustvolskaya, Gubaidulina, and Auerbach

Program

What a collection of distinctive composers on our first Gallery Series program! Ustvolskaya, Gubaidulina and Auerbach epitomize individuality, non-conformity (a trio for piccolo, tuba and piano!?) and a feminist, uncompromising fervor in their compositional voices. Shostakovich wasn’t half bad either! Featuring the Fremont String Quartet, Madeline Adkins, Corbin Johnston, Caitlyn Valovick-Moore, Alex Purdy and Jason Hardink.

Lera Auerbach (b. 1973): T’filah (1996)
Galina Ustvolskaya (1919-2006): Dona Nobis Pacem (1971)
Sofia Gubaidulina (1931-2025: Pantomime (1966)
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975): String Quartet No. 3 in F Major, Op. 73 (1946)
