2006 may mark Mozart’s 250th birthday, but it also marks the 100th birthday of Dmitri Shostakovich. A number of arts organization in Austin have banded together to commemorate the latter with Shostakovich 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Throughout 2006, chamber ensembles, soloists and the orchestra will schedule Shostakovich works into their programs. Tonight (Jan. 21), Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg joins the Austin Symphony Orchestra for a performance of the composer’s Scherzo No. 1, his first opus.<\/p>\n

Austin Chronicle<\/a> and the Statesman<\/a> have both written about Shostakovich 100.<\/p>\n

Let me just say, though, the Chronicle does a better job than the Shostakovich 100 web site in listing events<\/a>. The calendar interface on the Shostakovich 100 site forces you to click on every single date to see each event, and you can’t see a complete list of events on one page. It’s time-consuming and unintuitive, two things it shouldn’t be for the most important aspect of the site itself.<\/p>\n

No one has scheduled a performance of Shostakovich’s Quartet for Strings No. 8, or its string orchestra version, Chamber Symphony, Opus 110a. That’s my favorite Shostakovich piece (predictably). I’d be there in a heart beat if someone did.<\/p>\n

But there’s enough Shostakovich happening around town this year that I may actually take in a concert or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
