Danail Rachev, conductor. Featuring the University of Oregon Symphony Orchestra
IVES: The Unanswered Question
VARÈSE: Ameriques
DVORÁK: Symphony No. 9, “From the New World”
Three unique voices create one powerful evening of music about the American experience.
Featured on the first Eugene Symphony concert in November 1965, Charles Ives’s hypnotic score contemplates our very existence.
French avant-garde composer Edgard Varese captures the sonic cacophony he heard in Manhattan in 1918, right down to construction noise and police sirens. To perform Ameriques, we are collaborating with the University of Oregon Symphony Orchestra to present the largest orchestra ever assembled on the Silva Concert Hall stage.
Finally, Antonin Dvorák’s famous Symphony is equal parts love letter to his Czech homeland and tribute to the spirit of opportunity he found in America.
