What's Interesting
Dvořák’s New World Symphony moves with magnificent energies and melodies that feel like home. Hearing it performed by the CSO at Music Hall, under the baton of Music Director Designate Cristian Măcelaru, is a must-have experience. Randall Goosby, a new champion of Florence Price’s solo works, returns for the composer’s Second Violin Concerto plus Chausson’s most popular work. Selections from Wynton Marsalis Blues Symphony trace the blueprints of a quintessential American style.
What our Musicians are Saying
"Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 has always brought out feelings of Americana for me. It is such a joyous, daring and wonderfully melodic symphony. It really is a crowd pleaser. While the clarinet has some pretty great melodies, there are a number of other instruments that are prominently featured as well, such as the English horn. It's one of those pieces that is easy to take for granted because it is played so often, but once you hear it you are immediately reminded of how catchy and fun it truly is!"
