Hugh Wolff, Stanford and Norma Jean Calderwood Director of Orchestras, leads the NEC Philharmonia. The program includes the Shostakovich Symphony No.1, a work that should have special resonance for the NEC musicians.

It was written as Shostkovich's graduation piece from the Leningrad Conservatory when the composer was 19--about the same age as NEC's orchestral players. It was an immediate success, proclaiming Shostakovich as an important new star in the musical firmament of the Soviet Union.

The performance also marks Wolff's return to the music of Shostakovich, for which he has demonstrated a special affinity, particularly in performances of the Tenth Symphony at Boston's Symphony Hall with the Philharmonia as well as as in Atlanta with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
