SUMMARY:Meadows Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:$17 for adults\; $13 for seniors\; $11 for students\, faculty a
 nd staff \n Prokofiev - Lieutenant Kijé\, op.60: Suite (1934) \nShostakovi
 ch - Symphony No.15\, op.141\, A major (1971) \n  \nThe thread between the
 se pieces\, aside from the fact that Shostakovich and Prokofiev were the U
 SSR’s two most famous composers\, is their biting sense of humor. In Proko
 fiev\, humor is obvious\; the music was written to accompany a comedic fil
 m. In Shostakovich\, the humor is more complex\; humor is not always the p
 rimary emotion. When Shostakovich jokes\, there is a sad\, wistful mood un
 derneath. \n  \nOriginally written as a film score\, Prokofiev’s Lieutenan
 t Kije is a biting satire of bureaucracy and the military. The film and Su
 ite follow the non-existent Lieutenant Kijé\, who was accidentally entered
  into the rolls of a military company. To prevent potential embarrassment\
 , a Kijé is invented. The film then chronicles Kije’s arrival\, marriage a
 nd burial. \n  \nShostakovich’s Symphony No. 15 is his final symphony\, an
 d one of his most enigmatic works. It is full of quotations\, from Rossini
 's Overture to William Tell to Wagner’s Ring Cycle to Shostakovich’s own w
 orks. The meaning of this symphony is impossible to pin down. Is Shostakov
 ich being playful\, serious\, or both? Is he mocking himself or the listen
 er? Shostakovich was famously tight-lipped concerning his compositions\; a
  tendency born out of self-preservation. Due to his allusiveness\, the lis
 tener must make up their own mind. \n  \nTo purchase tickets online\, plea
