Metropolitan Opera star Heidi Melton joins the Phil for Strauss’s meditations on life—his serenely beautiful Four Last Songs. Shostakovich’s Tenth is a tribute to artistic perseverance under Stalinism (complete with the composer’s signature “motto theme,” DSCH) and Malek Jandali’s Phoenix in Exile commemorates the fortitude and defiance of Syrian refugees.Get more details and tickets at https://boulderphil.org/shostakovich.
