Listen Later

During intermission of our live broadcast of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra on Friday June 13, 2025, WQED-FM's Jim Cunningham spoke with Music Director Manfred Honeck about the Shostakovich Symphony No. 10; the world premiere of Lera Auerbach's "Frozen Dreams;" and his summer plans. He then spoke with guest pianist Beatrice Rana about the Mendelssohn Piano Concert she just finished playing. She told Jim the encore was a piano arrangement from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker; playing at the BBC Proms this summer; and she even signed a copy of our latest LP. Jim also spoke with Lera Auerbach - the composer of "Frozen Dreams." She talked about the idea of the piece; her connection to Austria; this being her first time in Pittsburgh even though her music has been performed here before; and the horrific story of her grandfather being taken by the KGB. On a happier note, she talked about the piece she is working on next.
