Evgeny Kissin and Friends: The Shostakovich Sonatas

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 8 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
Evgeny Kissin by Johann Sebastian Hänel / DG, Gidon Kremer by Angie Kremer, Maxim Rysanov by Laszlo Emmer, Gautier Capuçon by Nikos Aliagas
Dmitri Shostakovich composed just a single, unforgettable sonata for each principal string instrument. In this concert, pianist extraordinaire Evgeny Kissin welcomes an all-star group of musicians to perform all three. From the earliest of the works (1934’s youthful Cello Sonata) to the final piece Shostakovich ever composed (the elegiac Viola Sonata of 1975), the program offers a revealing look at a small, but essential part of the composer’s enduring musical output, performed at the highest possible level.
