From the New World

MATHILDE WANTENAAR Prélude à une nuit américaine SHOSTAKOVICH Piano Concerto No.1 DVOŘÁK Symphony No.9, ‘From the New World’

ERINA YASHIMA conductor ANNA TSYBULEVA piano

Some pieces are classics for a reason – and let’s face it, when it comes to Dvořák’s New World symphony it’s been a long time since the Hovis ad! This great symphony of exile, hope and nostalgia has been touching hearts since 1893. Shostakovich’s uproarious Piano Concerto is a bit newer, and Anna Tsybuleva makes it sparkle tonight. First, though, guest conductor Erina Yashima shares a piece of pure magic from a young Dutch composer with a huge imagination.

Post-concert Question Time – starts 15 minutes after the concert ends (in the Music Room) with conductor Erina Yashima.
