Music from the New World

Journey through elegance and emotional depth in a richly textured program that offers a celebration of musical storytelling. The evening opens with Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin, a shimmering tribute to French Baroque style and the memory of fallen World War I soldiers, blending grace and poignancy in equal measure. Next, the WFSO proudly presents a new work by acclaimed composer Brittany Green, whose music is known for its bold textures and powerful commentary—this dynamic piece promises to challenge and inspire. After intermission, the orchestra brings to life one of the most beloved symphonies in the repertoire: Dvořák’s New World Symphony, a sweeping, heartfelt exploration of American spirit and longing, infused with Bohemian soul.
