An hour of rush

Artwork designed by: Megan Peng

While listening to: Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10, second movement

Conducted by: Bernard Haitink

‘Shostakovich lived in constant fear of a knock on the door from Stalin’s secret police. This one’s less “soothing classics”, more “twentieth-century terror”.’ – Jesús Herrera, Artistic Director

‘I’ve been exploring ways of slowing down through running and photography, so experiencing music as another way of intentionally directing attention felt really meaningful.’ – Megan Peng, artist
