Composer Portraits
Trio (1949) Piano Sonata No. 6 (1988) Octet (1949-1950) Composition 2 (1972-1973) Piano Sonata No. 4 (1957) Composition 3 (1974-1975) This performance is approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission. THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURED IN A PREVIOUS SEASON! Russian composer Galina Ustvolskaya (1919-2006) studied under the tutelage of Dmitri Shostakovich, who openly admired both her and her work. Like Shostakovich, she had a public musical style to meet the approval of the Soviet regime that was in stark contrast to her personal style. The Fifth House Ensemble highlights the fierce sound world of Ustvolskaya's music, most notably her Piano Sonata No. 6, full of raw, hammering, repetitive tone clusters.
