Dvořák und Bernstein

In the organizer's words:

Stefan Dohr is a living legend. The principal horn of the Berliner Philharmoniker is considered one of the world's best, if not the best horn player of our time. Together with wind players from our orchestra, he opens up a whole musical world, from the wind serenades of Antonín Dvořák and Richard Strauss to Bernstein's "West Side Story" and the famous fanfare by Aaron Copland, which he composed for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in 1942 and which still stands for the strength and unshakeable spirit of the "common man". There is also an answer to this exclamation! It comes from Joan Tower, her "Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman" also comes from the American musical tradition and emphasizes the extraordinary role of women - powerful, but in its own way.
