Through the Pages of the 20th Century Chamber Music

         On 1 August 2018, Through the Pages of the 20th Century Chamber Music concert will take place. On the programme: works by Schoenberg, Shostakovich and Setekov.

Musicians will present a new reading of the works by the composers of the last century, which have become classics.

The name of Arnold Schoenberg is inseparably connected with the idea of the specific character of the 20th century musical language, which is fundamentally different from the language of the previous eras. The first work, which attracted great attention to the name of Schoenberg, was the String Sextet Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), op.4.

For six decades, the Piano Quintet by Dmitri Shostakovich has been remaining not only one of his best works, but also an outstanding work of this genre in all musical literature of the twentieth century.

The contemporary composer Khabibulla Setekov’s String Quartet, created in the mid-1980s, firmly entered the repertoire of Kazakhstani musicians.

Through the Pages of the 20th Century Chamber Music concert is not only an excursion to the past, but also a creative dialogue between established masters - performers and the Kazakhstani students studying abroad.
