Shostakovich 15 w/ Lukáš Vondrácek, Kazushi Ono & Brussels Philharmonic

Two masterpieces, one brilliant mind: Dmitri Shostakovich. His First Piano Concerto, sparkling and virtuosic, was written in his early twenties as a showpiece for himself. With a solo trumpet as his playful partner, the music dances between bold flair, biting satire, and touching lyricism—radiating the carefree confidence of a young composer at the height of his youthful powers.

At the other end of his life, he composed his Symphony No. 15: a mysterious, multilayered journey full of musical quotes, ironic twists, and deeply moving reflections.

The evening opens with a tribute to another visionary spirit: Arvo Pärt, and his Fratres—a meditative counterpoint to Shostakovich’s mischievous wit.

This concert is part of Arvo90: the Arvo Pärt Festival at Flagey.
