Journey across America with two powerful musical visions. Dvořák’s beloved 'New World' Symphony captures the excitement and yearning of a land of promise. Inspired by American landscapes and folk tunes, it blends soaring melodies and lush orchestration—painting a majestic musical portrait of discovery and enduring spirit. The profound and nostalgic work is paired with OBF 2026 composer-in-residence Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate’s American Indian Symphony—a vivid, contemporary work shaped by indigenous stories and musical traditions in six different languages. Conducted by OBF artistic partner, Ken-David Masur.
