Shostakovich / Symphony No. 8

Joseph Horowitz, who expertly set the stage for the SDSO’s triumphant performance of Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony in February of 2023, returns to Sioux Falls to guide you through another of Shostakovich’s epic war symphonies.

“At the root of the Eighth is the problem of coming to grips, emotionally and philosophically, with violence and suffering on a catastrophic scale.” – Shostakovich scholar Hugh Ottoway
