Dvořák Symphony No. 9 "From the New World"

An instant classic and perennial audience favorite, Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 welcomes us to the New World each and every time its melodies fill our ears. A love song to the country that entrusted him with creating a national and multicultural musical identity, the symphony at once defines the composer’s style yet allows us to experience this vision through multiple prisms. Violin Stefan Jackiw makes his Ann Arbor debut with Erich Korngold’s dazzling Violin Concerto, and Joan Tower’s earthy, authentic testimony to American industry rounds out the opening night of our 2023-24 season.
