Shostakovich: The Leningrad

On Friday, March 5, 2027, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra presents Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 7, “Leningrad,” at the Music Center at Strathmore. Music Director Jonathon Heyward leads the orchestra in this powerful wartime work, opening the evening with guided excerpts and commentary to help the audience appreciate the symphony’s context before the full performance. The symphony was composed during World War II while the city of Leningrad was under a brutal siege, and its music carries a message of resistance, endurance, and survival. The event is presented by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra rather than by Strathmore itself.
