Opening Concert: Rafael Payare Conducts Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony

Maison symphonique de Montréal

After incurring the wrath of the official Soviet press for his opera Lady Macbeth, Shostakovich sought to redeem himself by composing his bright, vigorous, and dramatic Fifth Symphony.  But despite of appearances, this work unabashedly broaches the atmosphere of collective anguish during Stalin’s Great Purge of the 1930s. For his first concert as OSM Music Director, Rafael Payare delivers a poignant symphony that cannot avoid resonating with the difficult year that we have experienced.

To complete the program, two works associated with the Orchestra’s history will be heard: Ravel’s whirling La valse, a highlight of several OSM tours, as well as a flagship of the Quebec repertoire, Pierre Mercure’s Kaleidoscope, first performed by the OSM in 1949.

Born in 1980 and a graduate of the celebrated El Sistema music education program in Venezuela, Mr. Payare began his formal conducting studies in 2004 with José Antonio Abreu. Since winning the prestigious Malko International Competition for Young Conductors in Denmark in 2012, Maestro Payare’s career has advanced rapidly.
