In 2025, the 50th anniversary of Dmitri Shostakovich's death, his music, offering emotional refuge against the Soviet regime, is remembered. This concert frames Antonín Dvořák's masterpiece with Shostakovich's first and ninth string quartets, performed by the Jerusalem Quartet, praised for "passion, precision, and warmth." A late-night performance by the Paterok Quartet follows in the "Philharmonie Club" restaurant.
