HSO Presents: Dvořák's "New World Symphony"

Description

Hopkins Symphony Orchestra opens the season with Dvořák's "New World Symphony." This famous work, written in 1893, was intended to demonstrate what an American-inspired orchestral piece might sound like, placing emphasis on Native and African American elements. The impact of this work resonated across the ocean and can be felt in Ravel's Piano Concerto, which the orchestra will perform with the brilliant Terrance Wilson. The evening's program will start off with William Grant Still's alluring Serenade, setting the tone for an epic night of music.

• Still: Serenade
• Ravel: Piano Concerto in G Major—Terrence Wilson, piano
• Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 ("The New World")
