Dvorák's New World Stream
Description
FLORIDA BLUE MASTERWORKS SERIES
MONTGOMERY • Banner
DVORÁK • Symphony No. 9, “From the New World”
Gonzalo Farias, Associate Conductor
Antonín Dvorák spent the summer of 1893 in Iowa, and it was America’s endearing, wide-open terrain that inspired the spacious sounds of his Ninth Symphony. The roots of the second movement’s famous English horn tune, sometimes known as “Goin’ Home,” can be traced to Dvorák’s exposure to African-American spirituals. Jessie Montgomery’s tribute to our National Anthem’s 200th anniversary opens the program. Associate Conductor Gonzalo Farias takes the podium in his Jacksonville Symphony Masterworks debut.
Live stream begins at 7:30 PM. Performances are expected to last between 60 and 75 minutes and there will be no intermission.
