Two Fifths

Two powerful works draw the season to a triumphant close

Don’t miss DSO’s spectacular finale to its 2021 season featuring performances of two mighty orchestral works—Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto and Shostakovich’s brooding Symphony No. 5.  

Internationally acclaimed star pianist Shuan Hern Lee will join the orchestra for a stirring rendition of Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto.

Written during Stalin’s reign, Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 is a work of extraordinary courage and protest. Experience its smouldering power in this breathtaking performance.
