The Grammy-winning chamber orchestra Kremerata Baltica—led by violinist and Artistic Director Gidon Kremer—returns to the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, 205 E. Randolph St., on Friday, Feb. 7, at 7:30 p.m.
The orchestra will perform works by Benjamin Britten, Mieczyslaw Weinberg, and Dmitri Shostakovich, including Shostakovich’s provocative and seldom-heard comic opera Antiformalist Rayok.
Kremer’s advocacy for human rights and social justice has been well-documented in recent months, including speaking out against Russia’s anti-gay law.
Tickets for the performance are $15-$30; visit www.HarrisTheaterChicago.org or call 312-334-7777.
