New World Symphony: Al Bustan Festival Beirut

Sobre o Evento

A colourful opening, to welcome you to the 21st Al Bustan Festival, with the theme: “In Nature’s Kingdom”.

Dvorák's 9th symphony 'From the New World' provides the magnificent ending to this opening concert of the festival. His overture 'In Nature's Realm' also launches the festival's theme 'In Nature's Kingdom'.

In between, Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi performs a work for bandoneon and orchestra, dedicated to him by the composer Roberto Molinelli. And there is the chance to hear the 'Suite' by Nino Rota, who provided the music for the Oscar‐winning 'Godfather' trilogy.
