Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Antonín Dvořák found himself living in New York - a new world where new people arrived every day, the streets buzzed with life and the air was filled with promise. The Bohemian composer absorbed this energy and poured it into his final symphony: Symphony No. 9, better known as 'From the New World'. New influences, new styles, new ideas - the composer wove them together with his Bohemian folk roots, creating a work that transcends time and place.

RO NOW Le Sacre du printemps

Antony Hermus, guest conductor and longtime friend of the Residentie Orkest, returns to The Hague for a spectacular programme that pushes the boundaries of the symphonic repertoire. The afternoon will kick off with Short Ride in a Fast Machine by John Adams - a thrilling, breathtaking ride in a fast sports car, where brass and percussion ramp up the speed and excitement. Next up is Willem Jeths's brand-new Piano Concerto, composed for the Residentie Orkest and pianist Ellen Corver. With this work, Jeths once again proves why he is considered the godfather of Dutch composers.
