The APO presents a concert of music that fell foul of various regimes. Sibelius’ Finlandia was performed under neutral titles such as “Impromptu” because of Russian censorship. Bart?k’s Piano Concerto No 3 was written in exile after he fled the fascist takeover of his beloved Hungary. And Shostakovich took a cinematic approach to describing events of the 1905 Russian revolution in his Eleventh Symphony.
