If one word defines this extraordinary evening with the world-renowned Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, it is passion. Under the fiery baton of Andrés Orozco-Estrada, the orchestra brings Robert Zuidam’s Orewoet – a contemporary work steeped in ardent desire – and Dvořák’s beloved Symphony No. 9 ‘From the New World’ to life. The Middle Dutch term orewoet, meaning ‘passion,’ lies at the heart of Zuidam’s evocative composition. In contrast, Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony interweaves folk melodies and grand American vistas with a poignant longing for his Bohemian homeland, creating a universally emotional masterpiece. A concert where passion and longing are explored in all their depth, reaffirming the Concertgebouw Orchestra’s place among the world’s finest.
