Shostakovich Chamber Symphony in F Major Weinberg Flute Concerto No. 1 Mendelssohn Symphony No. 5 Reformation VALENTINA PELEGGI CONDUCTOR ADAM WALKER FLUTE Conflict and triumph in musical form appear in this programme, through Shostakovich’s reflection of the futility of war in his Chamber Symphony in F Major and Mendelssohn’s celebration of the tercentenary of the Protestant Reformation. Weinberg’s First Flute Concerto, by turns cheerful and melancholy, sits neatly between both.
