Season 4 Premiere - Dvorak Symphony No. 9 "From the New World"

Dvorak came to the USA in December of 1892. Three years later, he returned to Bohemia. In the meantime, he wrote three of his most popular pieces and 3 of the most popular pieces in all of classical music, the American String Quartet, the Cello Concerto, and the topic for today, his New World Symphony. Season 4 begins with a look at this incredible symphony, a fusion of the work of both a fully European composer and a man who had fallen in love with music he had never heard before, but would never forget.
