This program features the music of Sofia Gubaidulina, who died March 13, 2025 at her home in Appen, Germany. Gubaidulina was born October 24, 1931 in Chistopol, Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Her works, which concern mysticism, spirituality, and religious themes, were disfavoured by the Soviet authorities, and she moved to Appen, Germany in 1992. This program is composed of five pieces by Gubaidulina written between 1965 and 1987: her Sonata for piano, De profundis for accordion, the violin concerto Offertorium, String Quartet No. 2, and Hommage à T.
