Orchestra Iowa presents “Rebellious Russians” March 6 at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts and March 7 a the Paramount Theatre. The program will include Shostakovich’s towering 5th Symphony, and Ballet Quad Cities will be the Orchestra’s special guest to perform a brand-new interpretation of Stravinsky’s “Dumbarton Oaks Concerto.”
Music Director Tim Hankewich, who is of Ukranian descent himself, also talks about how the music of Eastern Europe descends from local folk music, and what happened when Russian composers were then exposed to French and American culture and music.
