Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky at Wigmore Hall

On 23 February, Wigmore Hall presents a distinguished chamber music evening with violinist Anthony Marwood, cellist Coleman Itzkoff, and pianist Aleksandar Madžar. The recital opens with Shostakovich’s Violin Sonata, written in 1968 as a 60th birthday gift for the legendary Soviet violinist David Oistrakh — a work of intensity, drama, and personal depth.

In the second half, Itzkoff joins Marwood and Madžar for Tchaikovsky’s elegiac Piano Trio in A minor, a masterpiece of lyricism and emotional richness. Praised for his flawless technique and keen musicality by The New Yorker, Itzkoff’s artistry complements the ensemble perfectly.

Approximately two hours with an interval, this concert offers a rare chance to hear 20th- and 19th-century masterpieces in an intimate chamber setting.
