Docklands Sinfonia's next concert 'Against the Odds' at St Anne's, Limehouse, features the works of composers who have fought for their music to see the light of day.
The concert begins with the UK premiere of Persian composer Mehran Rouhani's Sinfonietta Synthetical. Rouhani, who studied composition at the Royal College of Music under the likes of Sir Michael Tippett, has never had his orchestral music performed in his native Iran.
Docklands Sinfonia will then perform the world premiere of Memento, an exciting new ballet work by British composer Jeremy Holland-Smith which features the acclaimed A.D. Dance Company under choreographer Holly Noble.
The concert finishes with Shostakovich’s heroic Symphony No. 5 in D Minor. Composed during the most savage days of Stalin's iron rule, Shostakovich demonstrates that true genius can prevail against the odds.
