Charleston Symphony to Perform Beethoven’s “Triple” Concerto with Guest Conductor

On Friday, October 28th and Saturday, October 29th, the Charleston Symphony will feature perform Beethoven’s “Triple” Concerto with Andrew Litton, the Music Director of the New York City Ballet, a Grammy Award winner, and an accomplished pianist. The performances, which will be held at the Gaillard Center, will also include cellist and 2018 Sphinx Medal of Excellence Winner, Christine Lamprea, and the CSO’s Concertmaster, Yuriy Bekker.

Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10, a post-World War II piece. will also be featured. Arguably the most significant Soviet-era composer of the last century, Shostakovich was condemned and stifled during the Stalin era. Though it is a mystery to pinpoint exactly when his Tenth Symphony was written (between 1946-1953), it is a work of masterful emotional outpouring likely inspired by this suffering.

Tickets start at $25 at CharlestonSymphony.org.
