shostakovich’s fourth symphony

This is a work that I really hope that we get to do someday at the Oregon Symphony.  It uses tons of extra musicians, so it’s very expensive to do, but I hope that we can scrape together the 19-odd woodwinds plus brass to do this incredible piece.  I’ve only done it once before, in grad school at the Peabody Conservatory, and it was amazing then, but it would be a great piece for the OSO to sink its teeth into!
