Shostakovich and His Circle at Longmont Museum

The great Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich was surrounded by extraordinary talent in Soviet Russia. The CCP performs music by Shostakovich; by Shostakovich’s closest friend, Miecyzslaw Weinberg;  by Russia’s “bad boy” Prokofiev, who left Russia for 20 years and finally returned; and by Stravinsky, who inspired Shostakovich in many of his compositions.
