Elgar and Dvořák – with guest soloist, Oliver Herbert, on cello.
Symphony of the Redwoods Spring Concert CANCELED
Elgar, Cello Concerto in E minor, Opus 85
Dvořák, Symphony #9 in E minor, Opus 95 “From the New World”
Elgar’s Cello Concerto, completed in 1919, was rarely performed until the 1960s when Jacqueline du Pré’s recording became a bestseller. Since then, this lyrical and passionate work has become a cornerstone of the cello repertoire. Dvořák’s Symphony #9, composed in 1893, was influenced by Native American songs and African American spirituals. Known also as the New World Symphony, it is one of the most often performed and beloved symphonies in the world.
Guest soloist: Oliver Herbert, cello
