New York Times author and winner of the National Book Award, M. T. Anderson presents the riveting account of the Seventh Symphony of Dmitri Shostakovich, written during the siege of Leningrad in WWII - A powerful story of Hope in Tempestuous Times.
There is nothing like the power of Music to keep Hope alive when it is waning.
