An invitation to form a Nordic Shostakovich SocietyOn August 9, 1975 in his sixty-ninth year Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich passed away. Many would agree that his monumental life work forms the most important artistic document of our times. He left a permanent and inevitable mark that no one can escape from on all musical forms and genres. Each work triggered a fight. Each work placed itself in the middle of the ever ongoing struggle for human dignity and freedom, and will continue to do so, because as Shostakovich himself so precisely expressed it: ”History, as we see, repeats itself.” Sofia Khentova phrased it ” Everything he wrote was, in essence, a protest against slavery; music, the creative process, remained the last refuge of the free spirit”. Shostakovich himself wrote:”We need brave music. I mean brave, because it is truthful”Through the last years the interest in Shostakovich music has steadily grown in the northern countries. This has been possible through the devotion and artictic insight of great orchestral directors and devoted soloists and chamber musicians. Maybe it would be right to maintain that through the intense cultivation of Shostakovich heritage in the nordic countries the artistic niveau has seen a remarkable growth.The music of Shostakovich has been a catalyser for artistic excellence. But it has also contributed to a better understanding of the function and place of music in contemporary society.To continue and intensify this trend and to work for an ever wider understanding and appreciation of Shostakovich’ music in the northern countries we invite to the formation of a Nordic Shostakovich Society. The formal founding is expected to take place in Oslo on August 9, 2000. We invite all interested in membership to indicate this through sending an e-mail to Kjell Skyllstad: kjell.skyllstad@imt.uio.no or Peter Lundin: nss@musiker.nuPlease give us your thoughts on the activities of the new society.
