Hovhaness’s Symphony No. 2\, “Mysterious Mountain\,” unfolds as a meditation on nature\, drawing listeners into a sound world of serenity\, chant-like melody\, and rich expression. In contrast\, Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 12 is a work of momentum and scale\, depicting history through bold orchestral force and intensity. Together\, these symphonies highlight two distinct approaches to the symphonic form-one inward and contemplative\, the other outward and declarative. \nProgram:\nHovhaness: Symphony No. 2 “Mysterious Mountain”\nShostakovich: Symphony No. 12\, “The Year 1917” URL:https://www.chq.org/event/chautauqua-symphony-orchestra-hovhaness-and-shostakovich/ LOCATION:Amphitheater\, Amphitheater CATEGORIES:Chautauqua Institution Program,Weekly Themes,Week Four (July 18–25),Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra/Classical Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chq.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/081624_CSO_DM_05.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
