Wynton Marsalis: Violin Concerto
Antonín Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 “From the New World”

Jazz, blues, habanera, spirituals, and anthems are all part of this whirlwind of a violin concerto by American Jazz legend, Wynton Marsalis, and performed by sensational Bulgarian-American violinist Bella Hristova. Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony is considered the first attempt to write an American symphony. Is it a depiction of the New World, or an expression of longing for the “old” one? That’s up to our audience to decide.

Please join Yaniv and Bella in the theatre at 6:30 PM for the pre-concert talk. Doors open at 6:00 PM for those attending the talk, and 7:00 PM for the concert.
