The Symphony No. 8 in C minor (Opus 65) by Dmitri Shostakovich was written in the summer of 1943, and first performed on November 4 of that year by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Yevgeny Mravinsky, to whom the work is dedicated.

The symphony is vaguely in the tradition of C minor "tragedy to triumph" symphonies begun with Beethoven's Fifth and including Bruckner's Eighth and Mahler's Second; although, there is considerable dispute over just how optimistic the ending is, since it ends very quietly. Shostakovich's friend Isaak Glikman called the symphony "his most tragic work".[1]
