Antonín Dvorák came to this country hoping, in part, to inspire a sense of nationalism in American composers. Out of that visit came one of the most popular pieces of music ever written—the New World Symphony—and began our country’s quest for its own music. Join us as we perform not only this classic work, but also two works of living (and popular) American composers.
We’ll begin with James Beckel’s thrilling Toccata for Orchestra commissioned by a consortium of American orchestras in 2007. Next we’ll welcome back Bozeman favorite, percussionist Joseph Gramley, performing the Marimba Concerto of Eckhard Kopetzki. We’ll end the day, of course, with Dvorák’s masterpiece.
