Wynton Marsalis and Dvořák’s “New World” | Adella

EASTMAN Symphony No. 2, “The Faithful Friend: The Lover Friend's Love for the Beloved” WYNTON MARSALIS Concerto for Trumpet [World Premiere; TCO Co-commission] DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 9, “From the New World” Dvořák traveled to America in the 1890s, and this wild, new country thrilled him. He admired the beauty of African American spirituals and was fascinated by Native American traditions. When describing his “New World” Symphony, he said, “I tried to write only in the spirit of those national American melodies,” but his Ninth is clearly an expression of both the Old World and the New. It is joined by Julius Eastman’s Second Symphony and the world premiere of a new concerto by Wynton Marsalis, written for Principal Trumpet Michael Sachs.
