about the event
Czech composer Antonin Dvorak came to the United States to head the new National Conservatory of Music in New York and to discover “American Music.” He urged American composers to take inspiration from African American music, and his most popular symphony, From the New World, does just that. Taking inspiration from Dvorak’s call to put spirituals in the concert hall, we will perform Adolphus Hailstork’s 3 Spirituals for Orchestra, and we will also feature our Hellam Competition Winner.
Fiona Shea, Violin
