    One of the great cellists of our time, Gary Hoffman makes a rare American appearance to celebrate Shostakovich's 100th birthday with Symphony Silicon Valley. Hoffman was the first North American winner of the Rostopovich International Competition in Paris, where he now lives. He will perform Shostakovich's extraordinary First Concerto, one of two the composer wrote for Rostopovich to perform when the West finally opened to the legendary cellist following Stalin's death. As bookends, Maestro Martin West has programmed two French classics: Fauré's haunting and rarely heard Pelléas & Mélisande Suite, and Bizet's charming Symphony in C, composed when Bizet was only 17, but already filled with anticipations of Carmen.
