Shostakovich's monumental Symphony No. 5 anchors this epic season finale: a sweeping journey through defiance, sorrow, and triumph written under Stalin's watchful eye. The Diablo Symphony balances it with Copland's brassy patriotism and the West Coast premiere of Daniel Pesca's nostalgic "Up North" piano concerto.
