Kian Soltani burns on Haydn cello concerto without stealing thunder from Shostakovich 
The program the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra is performing this weekend opens, deceptively, with a blast of quintessential feel-good music: Three Romances for orchestra by Clara Schumann.

Opening a concert with a premiere is powerful: the first music heard in the hall that night marks the first time that music was ever heard in that hall. This weekend, guest conductor Anna Sułkowska-Migoń opened the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s program at Powell Hall with the St. Louis premiere of Grażyna Bacewicz’s “Overture.” A […]
