Concert 2 - Fugitive Visions

Saturday 20 May 2023 at 3.30pm

Sergei Prokofiev’s dazzling piano masterpiece, Visions Fugitives, opens this concert, followed by the soaring lyricism of his 2nd Violin Sonata. We continue with Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov’s spectral and haunting Fugitive Visions of Mozart, before concluding with one of the truly shattering works of the chamber music repertoire, Dmitri Shostakovich’s searing Piano Trio no.2 in E Minor.
