Dvorak’s New World Symphony

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic Orchestra performs Bruch’s First Violin Concerto, with Jennifer Pike on violin, and Dvorak’s New World Symphony, a journey of musical discovery around America.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Ben Gernon perform Bruch’s First Violin Concerto and Dvorak’s Symphony No 9, 'From the New World'.

Bruch’s romantic violin concerto is performed by Jennifer Pike, who first gained attention in 2002, when at 12 years old, she won the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Young Musician competition. She is now in demand as a soloist around the world.

Dvorak wrote his Ninth Symphony on a journey of musical discovery around America. It takes inspiration from both native and African-American melodies, and is a cinematic display of orchestral colour that captures the spirit of new discovery.
