The Notre Dame Symphony Orchestra and Glee Club together present a performance of Dmitri Shostakovich's monumental Symphony no. 13, "Babi Yar." Set to Yevgeny Yevtuschenko's epic poetry and premiered in 1962, its exploration of anti-Semitism, totalitarian terror, and resistance remain acutely timely today. Shostakovich's musical moods range from brooding and explosive to brutally ironic and, ultimately, reflectively lyrical. Also on the program will be Tchaikovsky's masterful Violin Concerto, with student soloist Maya Kvaratskhelia.General admission is $15, $5 for students. Tickets are available by calling 574.631.2800 or visiting performingarts.nd.edu.   Originally published at music.nd.edu.

New at the BrowningDirected by François OzonWith Hélène Vincent, Josiane Balasko, Ludivine SagnierNot Rated, 102 minutes, DCPIn French with English subtitlesAfter a tumultuous life in Paris, Michelle (Hélène Vincent) has retired to a quiet existence in Burgundy, tending her garden and attending services at her parish. The voracious hostility of her adult daughter Valérie (Ludivine Sagnier) remains Michelle's great puzzlement: How can a child for whom she sacrificed so much treat her with such contempt and suspicion? When Valérie drops off her son for a week with his grandmother, Michelle sees an opportunity to repair the relationship, but a culinary accident soon undercuts whatever trust remains. With the help of her best friend Marie-Claude (Josiane Balasko), whose son (Pierre Lottin) has recently been released from prison, Michelle plots a path towards restoring the family life so long denied to her. With a deceptively placid surface, master stylist François Ozon cooks up a twisty and destabilizing thriller where family ties remain the most mysterious ingredient of all. GET TICKETS
