Russian Resistance

What a collection of distinctive composers on our first Gallery Series program! Ustvolskaya, Gubaidulina and Auerbach epitomize individuality, non-conformity (a trio for piccolo, tuba and piano!?) and a feminist, uncompromising fervor in their compositional voices. Shostakovich wasn’t half bad either!

- Lera Auerbach (b. 1973): T’filah (1996)
- Galina Ustvolskaya (1919-2006): Dona Nobis Pacem (1971)
