On Friday, Feb. 20 and Saturday, Feb. 21, the UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra presents a robust program centered on two defining 20th-century scores: Amériques by Edgard Varèse, and Symphony No. 7 (Leningrad) by Dmitri Shostakovich. From Varèse’s explosive modernist “cityscape” of sound to Shostakovich’s vast Seventh Symphony shaped in the shadow of war, the evening traces a dramatic arc across the century. Together, these works will bring you a night of striking color, relentless momentum, and full scale orchestral power.
