Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall

Dvořák's New World Symphony

In his Ninth Symphony, Dvořák aimed to create musical portraits of his time in America—weaving a vibrant tapestry of Black spirituals and Indigenous folk songs with tunes from his native Bohemia. And things go bump in the night in Wagner's ghostly overture to The Flying Dutchman and Liszt's Totentanz, a captivating work based on macabre melodies from the medieval Mass for the Dead.

Program

Wagner: Overture to The Flying Dutchman 
Liszt: Totentanz (Dance of the Dead) 
Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 “From the New World” 

Artists

Asher Fisch, Conductor 
Joyce Yang, Piano
