The Dearborn Symphony Orchestra will perform an all-Russian program
Detroit, MI |

The Dearborn Symphony Orchestra will perform an all-Russian program on Feb. 6, 2009 at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn.
Passionate, tormented, unsurpassed—Three consummate Russian composers/performers, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, and Prokofiev, are featured in the Dearborn Symphony’s Feb. 6 concert at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center.
With a brass fanfare, Maestro Kypros Markou opens the concert with Shostakovich’sFestive Overture. In 1954, the Bolshoi Theatre was chosen to host an important celebration of the 37th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Just days before the concert, orchestra conductor Melik-Pashayev realized he didn’t have a suitable opening number. Desperately, he turned to the orchestra’s recently-hired artistic consultant, Dmitri Shostakovich, who said he’d give it his best shot, grabbed a pile of blank manuscript paper and started writing fast and furiously, all the while continuing a conversation with his friend Lev Lebedinsky, as if never interrupted. An hour later, Melik-Pashayev returned, asking how much longer it would be before he should have the copyist come over to pick up the score. Shostakovich replied, “Send him over now, I’m almost done.” When the copyist arrived, a brilliant six-minute overture had been completed in less than an hour and a half.
About hearing the piece for the first time, Lebedinsky related: “Two days later the dress rehearsal took place. I hurried down to the Theatre and I heard this brilliant effervescent work, with its vivacious energy spilling over like uncorked champagne.” The piece has been a regular curtain-raiser ever since.
Russian keyboard dynamo Gleb Ivanov graces our stage with a thrilling showpiece from his homeland — Prokofiev’s brilliant and virtuosic Concerto No. 3. Already well known as a virtuoso pianist in Russia, having played with the Moscow State Orchestra, at the Great Hall at the Moscow Conservatory, and at the Kremlin, pianist Gleb Ivanov won many important prizes in Moscow and Kiev. In 2005, he won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York, which launched his career in America with a national tour of performances and educational residencies.“Eerily like the ghost of Horowitz, Ivanov engulfed the keyboard, rattling the rafters and thrilling the audience. His talent is larger than life,” wrote The Washington Times.
Prokofiev conceived the concerto as a solo showcase for himself, and the main focus is the piano writing, reflecting Prokofiev’s own style of playing—bold, incisive, and powerful. (A friend once remarked that, when Prokofiev played fortissimo, it was “...hard to bear in a small room.”). The concerto was first performed in Chicago in December, 1921, with Prokofiev as soloist.
Tchaikovsky’s rich and melodic Fourth Symphony completes the bill. Described as “unbridled emotion,” deep-sensitivity saturated Tchaikovsky’s music, producing lush melodies that have captivated listeners for over a century. Music aficionado and writer Paul Serotsky states “The Fourth Symphony is crammed with belting good tunes, toe-tapping rhythms, vivid poster-paint orchestration - and packs a punch fit to fell an ox.”
