SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 5

Our Tanglewood Music Fellows and the TMC Conducting Fellows tackle the power and depth of Shostakovich, alongside BSO Music Director Andris Nelsons. The piece — written under the duress of a totalitarian regime — walks the line between a cry of repentance and one of rebellion. This concert is part of our exploration of the work and impact of Shostakovich.
