Dmitri Chostakovitch: Ouverture festive
Dmitri Chostakovitch: Symphonie N° 5

For young people with a musical talent, it is especially motivating to play with professionals, receiving tips and tricks for one’s own practice and performing. The Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg offers practical help on the way to mastery, enabling conservatory students to share a music stand with its members. The result of their joint working sessions will be presented on April 6 at the Grand Auditorium, conducted by Eduardo Strausser: the programme features Shostakovich’s monumental Symphony N° 5 as well as his Festive Overture op. 96, modelled upon Glinka’s brilliant overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila.
