NSO and Lio Kuokman: Shostakovich and Stravinsky

Lio Kuokman, conductor 
Karen Gomyo, violin 

Shostakovich Festive Overture
Shostakovich Violin Concerto No. 1
Stravinsky Petrushka

Two musical giants explore love, fear and make-believe. 

Shostakovich’s Festive Overture bristles with vitality and wit, his First Violin Concerto searing and soul-bearing in music of fragile beauty, blistering emotions and thunderous defiance. 

Stravinsky’s ‘ballet burlesque’ Petrushka brilliantly fuses  folk music and puppetry into a richly animated phantasmagoria.  

‘Extraordinary’ (New York Times) violinist Karen Gomyo and ‘startling conducting talent’ (Philadelphia Inquirer) Lio Kuokman promise an evening to remember.
