“Join us for a concert of words and music by my hero, Dmitri Shostakovich”

– Andrew Beale, Managing Director

War and Peace in Stalin’s Russia

The composer, Dmitri Shostakovich, and the poetess, Anna Akhmatova, knew and admired each other. They lived through these tumultuous times, reflecting the horror and passion in their art. This is their story expressed through words and music. The music is from Shostakovich Trios 1 and 2, ‘Five Little Pieces’ and Tchaikovsky Trio. Performed by the English Piano Trio with narrators Christopher Ravenscroft and Ann Penfold.
