From the New World

Featuring Aubree Oliverson, violin

The program includes:...
  • Dvořák, Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" Concerto
  • Barber, Violin Concert, Aubree Oliverson, violin
Celebrate the spirit of American-influenced repertoire with “From the New World”, a concert journey that culminates in Dvořák’s majestic Symphony No. 9, “From the New World.” Earlier in the evening, audiences are treated to Samuel Barber’s intimate yet powerful Violin Concerto, featuring the expressive artistry of Aubree Oliverson—a violinist celebrated for her “emotional depth and technical brilliance,” whose recent performances include standout appearances with the Utah Symphony and the Chamber Orchestra of New York. Composed in 1939–40, Barber’s concerto unfolds in lyrical and dramatic movements, with a fiery fleet footed finale that has solidified its place as one of the most poignant American violin works. Together, the heartfelt intimacy of Barber’s concerto and the sweeping Romantic grandeur of Dvořák’s symphonic masterpiece offer a captivating exploration of the musical alloy between European tradition and the emerging American voice.
