My Program: Ravel: Menuet Antique
Stravinsky: Mavra
Weinberg: Symphony No. 6
The case for my program: This is a purely selfish program. Three pieces I love that I have never heard performed live. The Weinberg symphony is not known by most people (I think anyway), but it’s a real gem and anyone that loves Shostakovich will absolutely fall in love with it.

Excellent program. You don’t hear Mavra performed much these days – in fact, I couldn’t find record of any performances of it in the US in the last five years. There is a lot of Stravinsky that doesn’t get the attention it deserves – thank you for trying to make some of it see the light of day!
