A meditation on war and peaceJonathan Békés, cello
Ying Ho, piano
Presented in partnership with Musica Viva Australia, this concert focuses on bringing together Russian and Ukrainian composers. It will include cello and piano sonatas from two prominent 20th century Soviet composers, Shostakovich and Schnittke, both of whom send strong political messages through their music. The Schnittke sonata in particular is very intense. Both sonatas represent the “war” aspect of the program. On the other spectrum is the “Silent Songs” by living Ukrainian composer Valentine Silvestrov, a set of beautiful songs originally written for voice and piano, transcribed here for cello and piano. These songs represent the “peace” side of the program.
