NY Phil: Slatkin Conducts Shostakovich’s Fifth

About the Event

Experience the harmonious blend of classical melodies by Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich, John Corigliano, and Cindy McTee at the esteemed David Geffen Hall in New York. Delve into the intense narrative of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, with its chilling origin and enigmatic conclusion. Renowned saxophonist Timothy McAllister stars in Corigliano’s Triathlon, a piece tailored for his remarkable skills across soprano, alto, and baritone saxophones, described by the composer as demanding “three feats of high athletic prowess.” Cindy McTee’s Double Play evokes the spirited vibe of mid‐20th‐century big‐band jazz.
