Dmitri Shostakovich

Dmitri Shostakovich's "Symphony No. 7 in C Major, Op. 60," also known as the Leningrad Symphony, is a powerful testament to the resilience and suffering of the people of Leningrad during World War II.

Pictured is contemporary Canadian artist Gary Taxali who is known for his retro-stylized illustrations and activism. Included is his quote, "Art has the power to communicate messages that words sometimes cannot. It can inspire, provoke, and motivate people to think and act differently."
