1. Dvořák's New World SymphonyExperience the profound beauty and emotional depth of Dvořák's New World Symphony with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Austrian conductor Markus Poschner. This series of performances, taking place from November 29 to December 1, 2024, at the prestigious Meyerson Symphony Center, promises to be a highlight of the 2024/25 season.
The concert series kicks off on Friday, November 29, 2024, at 7:30 pm, followed by a second performance on Saturday, November 30, 2024, at 7:30 pm, and concludes with a matinee on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 3:00 pm. These performances are a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Dvořák’s most beloved symphony, the Ninth, also known as "From the New World." This masterpiece is celebrated for its rich melodies that evoke the spirit of the American landscape, alongside a poignant longing for Dvořák's native Bohemia.
Adding to the excitement, the concerts will feature the DSO debut of Charles Yang, a member of the acclaimed string ensemble Time for Three. Yang will perform Kris Bowers’s "For a Younger Self," a concerto that explores themes of balance and inner peace amidst chaos. Bowers, an Emmy Award-winning composer known for his work on "The Green Book," "Bridgerton," and "King Richard," ventures into the orchestral realm with this piece, marking his first concert work for orchestra.
