FROM THE NEW WORLD
Metro Series Concert #3

Little else can be said about the New World Symphony, which boasts one of the most beautiful and well known movements of the entire classical canon. Conducted by the internationally acclaimed Steven Moore, the work blends Dvořák’s European classicism with folk music influence and sweet, lyrical poignancy.

Equally poignant is Wagner’s portrayal of doomed lovers, the Prelude and Liebestod. A searingly profound and intense exploration of longing, the Prelude is followed by Chausson’s song cycle lamenting love and loss.
