SCHUMANN Piano Concerto
DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 9, “From The New World”

Mendelssohn’s inspirational overture, based on two poems by Goethe, brilliantly depicts the immobility of a becalmed sea to the redemptive vitality of a rising wind and the promise of homecoming.

Schumann’s dramatic piano concerto, composed at the urging of his wife and virtuoso pianist Clara, explores the breadth and depth of love through a beautiful interaction of piano and orchestra.

Dvořák’s famed and final symphony is a musical testament to the “New World” he found in New York City – it brims with brass fanfares, Bohemian and Czech dance rhythms, and utilizes folk tunes like Swing Low, Sweet Chariot as melodic motivators.
