The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: Steven Copes Plays Prokofiev’s First Violin Sonata
May 3, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Change and transformation are the equalizers of all humanity. With ethereal quietude and steeliness, this sentiment carries through Ukrainian composer Zoltan Almashi’s “Mariupol” (“Maria’s City”) for String Orchestra, an ode to the city of Mariupol and the unwavering spirit of the Ukrainian people that underscores the transformation of a city and a people forever changed. The ominous winds in Sergei Prokofiev’s Violin Sonata No. 1, performed by Concertmaster Steven Copes, speak across time to Almashi’s “Mariupol”, where the voices of ancestors growl in the wind of the graveyard that once was a city.
