Dvorak’s New World Symphony: Masterworks

Dvorak’s New World Symphony: Masterworks

Brilliant violinist Julian Rachlin is both conductor and performer. He is joined by partner Sarah McElravy for Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante, a poetic conversation between violin and viola. Rachlin conducts one of the most popular symphonies of all time, Dvorak’s great Symphony No. 9. Written and premiered in the “New World,” the work was influenced by Afro-American spirituals and folk music, for a distinctly American sound. Berlioz’s dashing Roman Carnival Overture rounds out the program.

Bonus! For every Masterworks concert, Michael Francis has personally chosen a surprise “mystery piece” to enhance your experience. What will it be this weekend?

Nuevo Mundo de Dvorak

El brillante violinista Julian Rachlin es a la vez director e intérprete. Lo acompaña su compañera Sarah McElravy para la Sinfonía Concertante de Mozart, una conversación poética entre violín y viola. Rachlin dirige una de las sinfonías más populares de todos los tiempos, la gran Sinfonía Numero 9 de Dvorak. Escrita y estrenada en el “Nuevo Mundo”, la obra fue influenciada por la música folklórica y espiritual afroamericana, para lograr un sonido claramente estadounidense. La elegante Obertura del Carnaval Romano de Berlioz completa el programa.
