SHOSTAKOVICH TEN NEW ZEALAND TOUR TICKETS 2025

All You Need To Know About Shostakovich Ten

Shostakovich Ten is a powerful and emotionally charged symphony that captures the atmosphere of a nation emerging from years of fear and control. Composed after Stalin’s death, Symphony No. 10 is often seen as Shostakovich’s bold and personal response to oppression — a work filled with tension, shadowy beauty, and flashes of raw defiance. From its slow, brooding opening to the intense, explosive second movement, the piece takes listeners on a gripping journey through struggle, survival, and resilience.

When performed by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, this monumental work comes to life with both technical brilliance and deep emotional nuance. It’s a symphony that requires both power and vulnerability — qualities QSO delivers with clarity and conviction. Whether you're a seasoned concertgoer or discovering Shostakovich for the first time, this is a rare opportunity to witness one of the 20th century’s most profound musical statements, live on stage.
