Lisa Batiashvili’s interpretations of Schnittke have been called “full of fire, fantasy, and fury… a performance to cherish” (Classical Explorer). Now, she dazzles D.C. audiences with Schnittke’s postmodern, genre-defying Violin Concerto No. 1. To close, Shostakovich’s revolutionary Symphony No. 4 unleashes a wild, glorious assault on the senses.
