About the Event

Antonín Dvořák's Ninth Symphony, known as the "From the New World," goes beyond mere academic analysis to explore the interconnectedness of various musical traditions. This symphony effortlessly blends spirituals, Native American dances, and Bohemian folk music with the timeless genre of the European symphony. Dvořák's creative prowess transcends borders and celebrates shared experiences instead of emphasizing differences. The enduring popularity of its melodies, often hummed by proverbial sparrows, is a testament to its universal appeal.

In a similar vein, Ariel Lanyi, the winner of the prestigious "Prix Serdang" 2023 piano award presented by Rudolf Buchbinder, mesmerizes audiences with his interpretation of Mozart's Piano Concerto KV 488. Lanyi's virtuosity and intuitive musicality shine through as he masterfully brings out the nuances and beauty of this classical masterpiece. His performance showcases the timeless nature of Mozart's music, resonating with audiences today as it did centuries ago.

Both Dvořák's Ninth Symphony and Lanyi's rendition of Mozart's Piano Concerto KV 488 exemplify the power of music to bridge cultural divides and evoke emotions that are universally relatable. These works serve as a testament to the transcendental nature of art, uniting people from different backgrounds through shared moments of aesthetic appreciation.

Artists

Orchestra: Mahler Chamber Orchestra

The Mahler Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1997 on the initiative of Claudio Abbado and a group of musicians from the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra who wished to continue to play together even after reaching the youth orchestra's age limit. The combined principles of artistic curiosity and the broadest possible spectrum of repertoire, both at the highest possible musical level, guided the ambitious ensemble in its founding and continue to shape its work today. The ensemble’s repertoire reaches from baroque to contemporary and includes everything from chamber music to symphonic programming, from operatic standards to world premieres.

Conductor: Antonello Manacorda
Piano: Ariel Lanyi
