THE AMERICAN ORCHESTRA

Dvorak’s American Suite is a mix of American music with Slavic tradition and themes native to the Far East. It reflects the growing diversity in turn-of-the-century America. Concerto for Orchestra is one of Bartok’s best known works, combining elements of Western art music and Eastern European folk music. Composed in 1985, The Chairman Dances is an “out take” from the opera, Nixon in China. Don’t miss this opening night!
