Experience the majestic blend of cultures with the "Symphonie du Nouveau Monde" performed by the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège (OPRL) under the baton of Pablo González. This iconic symphony, first premiered at Carnegie Hall in New York in 1893, is a masterful fusion of Czech music and melodies inspired by the musical folklore of the Native Americans. Notably, it features one of the most beautiful themes ever written for the English horn in its slow movement.

The concert will also spotlight the orchestral music of Ysaÿe, which has seen a resurgence of interest over the past decade. Among the rediscovered gems is the enchanting "Poème nocturne" from 1926, with the OPRL having the honor of recording the first album of this piece in December 2023.

This performance is part of the "Grands classiques" series and is available for both subscription and à la carte booking. It's a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a program that includes DELIUS's "The Walk to the Paradise Garden," YSAŸE's "Poème nocturne," and DVOŘÁK's Symphony No. 9, "From the New World."

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Salle Philharmonique in Liège on Thursday, May 8th, 2025, at 20:00. The concert duration is approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Tickets can be reserved through the OPRL's official website or by visiting the box office. Don't miss this symphonic journey that bridges continents and cultures, showcasing the universal language of music.
