Musically Speaking – Beyond the Score®: Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony
The Cleveland Orchestra
Bertrand de Billy, conductor
Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 (“From the New World”)
NEW WORLD OF MUSIC – Dvorvák “New World” Symphony No. 9
In 1892, Dvo?ák came to New York to help create a new kind of American musical language. He was intrigued by Native American drumming and African American spirituals. In the end, he used classical European forms to capture his experiences in a musical postcard home — a grand symphony “From the New World.”
Musically Speaking allows you to hear the masterpieces in a whole new way. Borrowing from the Chicago Symphony’s runaway hit Beyond the Score®, the first half features the Orchestra and a richly textured audio-visual presentation about the composer and the piece to be performed (like the best of PBS). In the second half, you’ll hear a full throttle performance of the work in its entirety made all the more vivid by your experience in the previous 45 minutes. Get the inside story, behind the music, beyond the score.
Prelude Concert: Members of The Cleveland Orchestra will perform a free prelude chamber concert for Musically Speaking ticketholders in Reinberger Chamber Hall at 2:00 p.m.
Purchase tickets
Musically Speaking is made possible in part through the generous support of the William J. and Dorothy K. O’Neill Foundation.
Beyond the Score® is produced by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
