# Event Details

- **Event Name**: BNY Classics: Shostakovich's Fifth
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 07 Dec, 2025 at 02:30 pm
- **Event Description**: — About this Performance —
In 1937, as Stalin’s purges gripped the Soviet Union, Shostakovich lived in constant fear for his life. Yet in that darkness, he found the courage to write his Fifth Symphony, subtitled (ironically) “A Soviet Artist’s Reply to Just Criticism.” Intense, haunting, and ultimately triumphant, the work became both his artistic breakthrough and his political survival. The program also features Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, performed by Concertmaster David McCarroll. Graceful and lyrical, it is widely cherished as “one of the most beautiful and beloved concertos” ever written.
