BERLIOZ, SIBELIUS & DVOŘÁK

Join the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra for opening night as we celebrate our 100^th season!

Hector Berlioz: Le Corsaire

Evoking swashbucklers at sea, this high-spirited overture is both fiery and sentimental. Its boisterous nature is both surprising and unexpected from Berlioz.

Jean Sibelius: Violin Concerto

Sibelius doesn’t waste a note in this colorful orchestration. His lineage is that of Beethoven, with whom he stands as the bookends spanning the Romantic century. Martin Chalifour, principal concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, is featured in this technically demanding work.

Antonín Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 in E Minor (“New World”)

Though written by a Czech composer, this is an iconic American symphony and, ironically, the first symphony defined as American. Dvořák composed the work during a discontented three-year stay in America, influenced greatly by his mentor, Johannes Brahms, along with inspiration from the sounds of his new world and his native Bohemian folk tunes.
