Lesher Center for the Arts, 1601 Civic Dr, Walnut Creek, CA 94596

The Diablo Symphony concludes its 63rd season with Dmitri Shostakovich's powerful Symphony No. 5. The difficulties under which Shostakovich (by then under condemnation by Stalin's regime) was working in 1937 permeate the deep and complex emotions of this extraordinary work. The program also features works by two American composers-Aaron Copland and Daniel Pesca-that celebrate the joys and bravery of everyday existence. Composed in 1942, in response to the U.S. entry into World War II, Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" pays tribute to the heroism of those on the home front. And, in the West Coast premiere of Pesca's Up North piano concerto, performed by the composer, listeners will be transported by pictured memories of cheer, nostalgia, charm, and family warmth experienced during childhood trips taken from Alabama up to Northern Michigan each summer. With these three works, performed under the direction of conductor Matilda Hofman, the program explores the entire gamut of human emotions.Adults $45, Youth 13-17 $15, Children 12 and under free; discount of $35 each for groups of 10+ Seniors.Presented by Diablo Symphony Association
