Welcome to the New World! In this fascinating multimedia concert, you'll experience all the colors of Anton?n Dvoř?k's famous New World Symphony. The New World Symphony, one of the most popular orchestral works ever written, the idea of "echoes of nations" becomes very complex. For the composer and his fellow Czechs, the piece expresses longing for their homeland. For Americans, it's the first great symphony about America. And for African Americans and Native Americans, it resonates with themes highly suggestive of their songs and spirituals. Originally intended to be an opera inspired by Longfellow's epic poem "The Song of Hiawatha," Dvoř?k's Symphony No. 9 eventually wove together several cultures to produce a rainbow of music - a vision of many colors and identities.
