| Theatr Hafren, Newtown, Llanidloes Road, Newtown SY16 4HU, United Kingdom Sunday 26-Sep-10 03:00pm From Bohemia to Beverley Hills Two great Czech masterworks from Smetana and Dvořák. One of the most enduring symphonies of all time, Dvořák wrote From the New World in America, racked with home-sickness but full of enthusiasm for the country's dynamism. Here it next to two great America classics with an Austrian flavour: Viennese-born Korngold's Violin Concerto, written in Hollywood and Barber's iconic Adagio, written during an idyllic summer in Salzburg.
Recorded by BBC Radio 3 for future broadcast.

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Wednesday 6-Oct-10 07:30pm Suk, Chopin and Dvořák So much great music is born of longing to be somewhere else. With the easy elegance and pruned sophistication of his Second Piano Concerto, Chopin hoped to endear himself to the opinion-forming concertgoers of Paris, 850 miles from his home in Warsaw. Antonín Dvořák had already hit the big-time when he wrote his New World Symphony. But parachuted into America to run New York’s fledgling music college, the composer felt himself longing for home: the Symphony’s spirituals and plantation songs – its shapely and contented melodies – are tinged with a slight Slavic sadness. | ||

Returning to St David's Hall after eighteen years. Neeme Järvi's Czech-inspired concert includes the sparkling Scherzo Fantastique by DvoÅ™ák's son-in-law, Josef Suk, and is joined by the elegant and mercurial Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, in the gentle poetry of Schumann's Piano Concerto.

| Oxford Town Hall, Oxford OX1 1BX, United Kingdom Saturday 30-Oct-10 08:00pm From the 'New World' Russian pianist Tatiana Kolesova, finalist in the Leeds International Piano Competition when she was only 15, has been attending the Oxford Philomusica International Piano Festival and Summer Academy regularly since 2000. We are therefore delighted that she will be making her debut with the Oxford Philomusica performing Chopin’s 1st Piano Concerto where her extraordinary pianistic talents will be in full display. Chopin’s poetic and deeply moving work is complemented by Dvořák’s ‘The New World’ Symphony, a work that employs European folk music to evoke the composer’s emotional response to Native American music. | ||

| Royal Albert Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Tuesday 2-Nov-10 07:30pm The Great Classics: Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Dvořák Mendelssohn and his family spent the summer of 1844 in the spa town of Soden, and it was during this happy vacation that he completed his superb Violin Concerto. Although it had occupied him for several years, the finished score sparkles with freshness and spontaneity. Dvorák completed his Symphony No.9 in America in May 1893 and it was first performed in December of that year. This ‘musical letter from America’ is both a hymn to the New World and a nostalgic longing for home, expressed most powerfully in the exquisite Goin’ Home melody of the second movement, famously used in the Hovis bread advert. Tickets: £5 - £40 | ||

| Long Center for the Performing Arts: Dell Hall, Austin, TX, 701 W. Riverside Drive, Austin, TX 78704, United States Friday 14-Jan-11 08:00pm Austin Symphony Orchestra Presents CSO's Beyond the Score Dvořák’s New World Symphony is one of the most popular pieces of orchestral music ever written. Here the idea of Echoes of Nations becomes very complex: for Dvořák’s fellow countrymen, this work is perhaps the greatest Czech symphony and expresses the composer’s longing for his homeland. For Americans, this is the first great symphony about America. For African-Americans, this is the first great orchestral work to use themes inspired by their songs and spirituals. For Native Americans, it is the first, and so far the only, great work inspired by Native American music. The very same tunes in this symphony have been claimed as African-American, Native American and Czech. We will explore what this tells us about the shifting meanings of music, how this symphony grew out of Dvořák’s abandoned opera based on Longfellow’s Hiawatha epic, and how Longfellow’s inspiration itself mixes North American and European stories and ideas. In this symphony, the echoes of many different nations mix with one another to produce a rainbow of music, a vision of many colors and identities. | ||

Alongside the Dvořák, Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4 marks the SFS debut of Arabella Steinbacher, praised by The New York Times for her “lyricism and fire.” | ||

Then, you’re off to discover two visions of the same country; the America that Dvorák came to visit in 1892, and the America of today. Premiered out of town in 2009 under Neal’s baton, Michael Daugherty’s exciting electric guitar concerto now comes to our stage. Inspired by the quilting community of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, this music takes you from rock to blues to classical and back again. Gee’s Bend is the subject of the March 25th Classical Connections (page 9). The same American spirit, albeit with a Bohemian accent, is evident in Dvorák’s not-to-be-missed New World Symphony No. 9. | ||
