Lahav Shani conducts Dvořák’s Symphony “From the New World”
In 1892, Antonín Dvořák was appointed director of the National Conservatory of Music of America in New York – with the mission to develop an American national style. His symphony From the New World captures the vastness of the landscape and draws on the music of the indigenous population. However, Charles Ives, whose enigmatic Unanswered Question became a milestone, is regarded as the real father of an American idiom. Lahav Shani and concertmaster Daishin Kashimoto also present Dmitri Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto.
