How Sweet the Sound - Dmitri Shostakovich

Description:
For the final concert of our season, How Sweet the Sound offers a profound musical journey through life’s most universal experiences - loss, reflection, and the enduring strength that rises from them.

Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartets Nos. 14 and 15 stand at the edge of human experience. These final works confront mortality with a stark honesty. Quartet No. 15 unfolds as a tableau of six slow, meditative movements, each a haunting reflection in which grief, acceptance, and fragile hope converge. It is music stripped to its essence, yet unwavering in emotional intensity, a final testament to art sustained by the human spirit.
