The Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra and William Schrickel open their season with Steve Heitzeg’s stirring Fanfare for Prairie Skies. Frenchman Georges Bizet’s Suite No. 1 from Carmen, the second most performed opera in the world, sparkles radiantly, and George Walker’s elegiac Lyric for Strings serves as the MSO’s memorial to the victims of social injustice and to those struck down by Covid. Antonin Dvorak, Bohemia’s greatest composer, wrote his ninth symphony while living in New York City. Subtitled From the New World and premiered in 1893, it is both a love letter to his native country from the homesick composer and a reflection of his fascination with the energy and the people of the United States.
The concert is free; donations are requested to help offset our costs.
