BSO enlightens with Shostakovich

Maestra Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra return to the Music Center at Strathmore Friday night with the second concert in the season’s popular Off the Cuff series. Composer Dmitri Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony will be the subject as Alsop leads the audience toward a better understanding of the frightening, unsettled period of political unrest in 1930s Russia under the reign of Josef Stalin as seen through the composer’s grand composition.
