  1. Overture, from The Bartered Bride - Bedrich Smetana
  2. Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major Op 77 - Johannes Brahms
  3. Symphony No 9 in E minor, 'From the New World' Op 95 - Antonín Dvorák

The effervescent overture to Smetana’s most well-known opera opens this concert in style. Brahms’ violin concerto is built on a symphonic scale, to the point where the original version had the four movements traditional for that form. Brahms replaced the middle two with one of his most beautiful adagios, and the finale is a vigorous Hungarian dance. Dvor?ák’s most famous symphony, written in America while filled with longing for his Czech homeland, has an apparently inexhaustible flow of melodies, with a justly famous slow movement at its heart.
