Saturday 18th October 2008 at 7.30pm

Shostakovich
Symphony Concert

Sibelius Finlandia
Crawley Aspects of Eden (first complete performance)
Shostakovich Symphony No.5

 


Finlandia and Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony are works of protest - against Tsarist oppression in Finland, and against Stalin's Great Terror respectively, yet these messages were hidden - Shostakovich called his work 'a Soviet artist's reply to just criticism'. In contrast, Aspects of Eden - composed by SASO's principal horn Chris Crawley and inspired by Cornwall's Eden Project - receives its first performance.

St. Saviours Church, Sandpit Lane, St. Albans

TICKETS    £12, £8

All accompanied children under 18 pay £1 for any seat, students £5.
