BSO Music Director Finalist Bobby Collins leads the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra's season finale on June 1 and 3. The openings of Shostakovich's Violin Concerto and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 could not be more dissimilar. Written just before Stalin's death, Shostakovich's concerto opens with the low strings brooding with tones that barely suggest a melody. Elsewhere in the concerto, Shostakovich spells out his own name in musical notation using German transliteration. The pitches D-E-flat-C-B (or, DSCH) cry out with sarcasm and fierce wit. This is a titanic concerto for violinists, and superstar Rachell Ellen Wong will hold you spellbound with her virtuosity and sensitivity.
