RSNO 2026/27: Shostakovich Seven
As Hitler’s armies surrounded the city of Leningrad, Dmitri Shostakovich composed his Seventh Symphony - a shout of courage, defiance and victory, written for massed battalions of musicians. Brace yourself for wartime drama on a heroic scale as Bassem Akiki conducts the mighty RSNO in this sonic blockbuster: the climax of a concert that begins with Copland’s showstopping fanfare and stars a real RSNO favourite, violinist Philippe Quint, in a violin concerto with a dazzling difference.
