Enjoy a pre-recorded performance, demonstration and live discussion of the demonic Scherzo from Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1. Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century whose inventive harmonic language and compositions under Stalin are fascinating. The performance component will feature violinist Cade Fiddaman, a sophomore in the School of Music at MSU. Lori Rosolowsky, a collaborative pianist, educator, singer-songwriter and founder/owner of Open Sky Artists, will perform the orchestral part on piano.
Fiddaman and Rosolowsky give listeners a behind-the-scenes tour of what to listen for and share fun anecdotes about their journey learning and performing this piece together. The event is moderated by Michaela Bader, director of development at the MSU Alumni Foundation, and includes a lively Q&A.
