Shostakovich Festival Leipzig 2025
From 15 May to 1 June, we warmly invite you to Leipzig for one of the most comprehensive examinations of the works of Dmitri Shostakovich, on the 50th anniversary of his death. Under the direction of Gewandhauskapellmeister Andris Nelsons and Anna Rakitina, the Gewandhausorchester, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Festival Orchestra - founded especially for the festival, comprising members of the Mendelssohn Orchestra Academy and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra - will interpret a wealth of Shostakovich’s phenomenal music. An unsurpassed roster of world-class artists including Daniil Trifonov, Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider and Baiba Skride, will feature in the extensive chamber music series. Two performances of the opera »Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk« at the Leipzig Opera, conducted by Andris Nelsons, will complete the festival programme.
