Mark Laycock and the Princeton Symphony Orchestra presented a mini-survey of some of these musical ideas on Sunday afternoon in Richardson Auditorium with a program of music by Dmitri Kabalevsky, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Sergei Prokofiev. Featured in the Shostakovich violin concerto presented was soloist Yuri Mazurkevich, an electrifying performer who emigrated from Ukraine, bringing much of the true Russian flair for virtuoso playing with him.
