From the New World

Music by Copland and Dvorak

Add to my Calendar 07-05-2022 19:30 07-05-2022 21:30 36 From the New World Our evening of music from the New World opens with Aaron Copland’s hauntingly atmospheric tone poem ‘Quiet City’ for trumpet, cor anglais and strings.  His ballet suite ‘Appalachian Spring’ is perhaps better known, its later stages including the variations on a Shaker Theme familiar to many as the ‘Lord of the Dance’. The ‘New World’ symphony needs no introduction.  Despite being so well known it retains delightful melodic and rhythmic freshness inspired by the music Dvorak discovered on his American visit.
