Classical Tulsa/Max Oppenheimer

After escaping the Nazi siege of Leningrad during World War II, Dmitri Shostakovich was wracked by the devastating news of the death of a close friend and the revelations of the true extent of the Holocaust. His response to those tragedies was one of his most powerful works: Classical Tulsa host Jason Heilman introduces Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano Trio No. 2 in E Minor, Op. 67, in 10 minutes or less. You can hear the Horszowski Trio perform this piece on March 17th at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center as part of Chamber Music Tulsa's 2023-24 season.

Musicologist and Classical Tulsa host Jason Heilman is no stranger to Tulsa’s concert audiences, having been a frequent speaker at concerts by Tulsa Camerata, Chamber Music Tulsa, and other local groups.
