DvoŘÁk's New World Symphony

Event Description

Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture
Saint-Saëns: The Muse and the Poet
Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 “From the New World”

In advance of Valentine’s Day, we share three heart-felt musical depictions of love: the tragedy of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers from the pen of Tchaikovsky; Saint-Saëns’ romantic, poetic musings in an inspired dialogue between two soloists; and the nostalgic longing for home experienced by Dvořák. Korean-Canadian conductor Earl Lee serves as Assistant Conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Music Director of the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra.
