Beginning this fall, the Barbican Centre will celebrate the centennial with all 15 of Shostakovich's symphonies conducted by Gergiev. The series opens on September 13 with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in the composer's Symphony No. 5; this concert will be followed the next day by his Ninth Symphony. Gergiev returns to the Barbican in December to conduct the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra and Chorus in other Shostakovich symphonies.
The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
