Educate Your Ear
Dvořák's Symphony No. 6:
Vienna meets Prague?
Friday, October 4 at 7:00 pm
James A. Little Theater
at the New Mexico School for the Deaf
Dvořák's radiant Symphony No. 6 balances
the influence of Brahms and Beethoven
with the sunny lyricism of Czech folk music.
Though he wrote it for the Vienna Philharmonic
in 1880, they didn’t perform the work until 1942,
sixty-plus years later! Oliver’s
commentary and musical illustrations by the SFCO will take you inside this
beautiful work, followed by a full performance of the first movement.
Educate Your Ear -
It will change the way you hear!
Free Admission, Donations Appreciated
