# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Inside the Mind of Shostakovich – Guided Listening Lecture
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 8 is one of his most uncompromising works. Violent, relentless, and without consolation, it circles obsessively around four notes — DSCH — the composer’s own musical signature.

In this guided listening lecture, we slow the experience down. Using a few short score excerpts (no musical training required), we follow how the same material is pressured, distorted, and forced into radically different states.

There is no triumph here. No redemption arc. Just persistence.
