Concert Information
An afternoon concert at MediaCityUK, featuring two composers who were close friends and supporters, Dmitri Shostakovich and Mieczysław Weinberg - with contralto Jess Dandy and conducted by John Storgårds (pictured).

Jess Dandy is the soloist in Shostakovich’s tribute to Marina Tsvetaeva. Shostakovich set six of Tsvetaeva’s poems to music in August 1973 towards the end of his life, choosing some of the Russian poet's more romantic, reflective and uplifting verses for this moving song cycle.

Weinberg’s first symphony so impressed Shostakovich that the two composers became lifelong friends. This afternoon we hear Weinberg’s twelfth symphony, composed in 1976 and dedicated to the memory of Shostakovich who had died the previous year.
