abgeFRACKt: Neue Welt | Kurzkonzert

In the organizer's words:

Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 - also known as the Symphony "From the New World" - is one of the most popular works of classical music. Why is that? Because it goes straight to the heart! Dvořák wrote it in the USA when he first heard the sounds of spirituals and indigenous music. He blended these influences with his unmistakable style full of melodies that you can't get out of your head.
The symphony takes you on a journey: from the wistful cor anglais solo in the second movement, which sounds like a memory of home, to the rousing finale, which radiates pure adventurousness. And if you listen carefully, you might even discover the film music that was later inspired by this symphony - from Jaws to Star Wars!
