Amy BishopCORRESPONDENT
The same evening, the soloist in the viola concerto, Paul Aguilar, will trade out his viola for the violin as soloist in John Williams' score from Schindler's List in a concert that also includes Williams' Cowboys Overture.
Amy BishopCORRESPONDENT
The fifth and final Plano Symphony Music Director candidate is Italian-born Filippo Cebatti, coming in February to take on one of the biggest warhorses of the symphonic canon, Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 from the New World.
Amy BishopCORRESPONDENT
Chabati explains how the symphony's origins began when the Czech composer was here in the U.S. for an extended stay.
Amy BishopCORRESPONDENT
And he
Amy BishopCORRESPONDENT
He'll also lead the orchestra in movie music from fellow Italian Ennio Morricone and one of the pillars of the violin repertoire with Felix Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto featuring soloist David Kim.
Amy BishopCORRESPONDENT
And after that February concert, we wait.
Amy BishopCORRESPONDENT
Hector Guzman will conduct the final two concerts of the season in March and April, culminating with Beethoven's towering Choral Symphony No. 9, and they're planning to announce the new music director in May.
Amy BishopCORRESPONDENT
But Guzman wants to make one thing clear.
Vanessa RichardsonHOST
The New World Airport Commission was real.
Vanessa RichardsonHOST
Charles Ansbacher put it together, and he took the name from Antonin Dvorak's Ninth Symphony, subtitled From the New World.
Vanessa RichardsonHOST
Its job was throwing the party, organizing the opening festivities, and running an international air show in September of 1993.
Vanessa RichardsonHOST
It broke up shortly after the airport opened.
Ryan LaneyGUEST
... of the mer, mer, mer, mer, mer, mer, mer, I don't know, sort of thing that we did, and it's a similar thing here as well.
Ryan LaneyGUEST
Plus, for any fans of Dvorak and his Ninth Symphony, the New World Symphony, the Jaws movement, which I think is the fourth movement, I think it's the last one, it starts off by going da-dun, da-dun, da-dun, da-dun, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Ryan LaneyGUEST
And then it goes into the-
Drew CreasmanHOST
Yeah
Ryan LaneyGUEST
I steal s- music from people.
Ryan LaneyGUEST
It just works that way.
Ryan LaneyGUEST
But it, it's a weird thing to have him go, "I'm gonna take the Dvorak New World Symphony and use that in the battle theme for II," because thematically I would argue there's almost no correlation whatsoever between them.
Ryan LaneyGUEST
But it gives you that sense of, like, forebodingness and like you really are up against the odds with how many things are downward motion in this one, or how many things are almost like the, the song itself is laughing at you throughout the whole entire thing.
Ian CottierHOST
Next up, a band that's been making music for over 150 years, taking its origins, like many others do, in the mining industry, but which has continued to serve its community since the coal industry's decline.
Ian CottierHOST
The Emley Band, and their contribution to tonight's program is a selection of themes from Dvořák's New World Symphony.
Ian CottierHOST
[marching band music]The Emily Band, and there's a local connection here as two of the members who actually sent me the disc cut their banding teeth here in the Isle of Man, Andrew Garrett and Sally Shacklock.
Ian CottierHOST
Next, still in Yorkshire and very close to Huddersfield, is the Clifton and Lythecliff Band, which had very close associations with my old friend, the late David Horsfield.
Paul NiemistoGUEST
And so Dvorak heard a lot of gospel music coming from him.
Paul NiemistoGUEST
And he was inspired in his New World Symphony to write this material into the program.
Paula GranquistHOST
Well, should we listen to a little bit of
Paul NiemistoGUEST
that? Yeah, let's listen to the first ten bars.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
This is a special event, and it includes the, uh, concert that the Pittsburgh Symphony gave, but also several chamber music concerts, including the Schubert Room and the Mozart Room and the main hall.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
So we first had this evening the main event was the Dvořák New World Symphony.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
We had the, uh, Vienna Concert House hearing Augustín Hádlek playing a Barber Violin Concerto, Short Ride in a Fast Machine by John Adams, and then, uh, several encores.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
Augustín Hádlek played the Schumann encore Träumerei, which is arranged, very delicate arrangement of the piano piece by Robert Schumann.
Julie AmacherHOST
He's earned two Grammy Awards with this ensemble, and they recently released their newest recording.
Julie AmacherHOST
It's Dvorak's Ninth Symphony from the New World with four Black American dances by Carlos Simon.
Julie AmacherHOST
It was recorded live in the historic Heinz Hall in February 2025.
Julie AmacherHOST
I asked Manfred what was most memorable about those performances.
Manfred HoneckGUEST
Everybody, when I came out, they were completely in the music.
Manfred HoneckGUEST
I will never forget this moment to play this fantastic New World Symphony and now presenting in a way that people said to me after that, Now I hear the first time melodies I never have thought about.
Manfred HoneckGUEST
I never heard it before.
Manfred HoneckGUEST
For example, in the fourth movement, there is in the bassoon a melody which is mostly covered by the woodwinds and by the strings.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
This is a fantastic concert that we had just a few moments ago.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
We were hearing the magnificent sound of the Dvorak New World Symphony and the Essen Philharmonie.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
It's really been a great tour all the way along.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
We're down to the last couple of concerts in Vienna.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
And the intendant, the woman in charge, spoke warmly about the orchestra's visit and about the occasion of the 250th anniversary of America and the Declaration of Independence.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
And away they went with the short ride in a fast machine by John Adams, followed by the second half.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
I mentioned the Dvorak, the New World Symphony, but in the middle, we have the Rachmaninoff Paganini Rhapsody.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
And of course, that sort of fits in with the American theme through his years In America, the Paganini Rhapsody, written, I believe, it had its premiere in Philadelphia, so there's a connection there with his last year spent in Hollywood.
Jim CunninghamCORRESPONDENT
All right, Mr. Rakoff, will you please tell me what you thought of the concert tonight? How did it go?
Bill RackoffSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, this was the most thrilling rendition of the New World Symphony that I've ever heard.
Bill RackoffSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The acoustics were over the top and the maestro was explaining to me that the entire orchestra was at their peak and all of the departments were interplaying with one another, making the best music of their lives and it was just a fantastic evening.
Bill RackoffSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What do you think
Tom PollardHOST
If I go see Alice in Chains, they're going to play the song Rooster.
Tom PollardHOST
But if I go see the symphony at Rome, I'm going to see Dvorak Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op.
Tom PollardHOST
95 from the New World, 4th movement, Allegro Con Pucco.
Alan NaylorSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Mm-hmm.
Jeffrey DokkenGUEST
Exactly.
Jeffrey DokkenGUEST
So so this particular piece, this the Dvorak.
Jeffrey DokkenGUEST
So the Dvorak New World Symphony is one of the pieces that I always try to steer like my non classical music loving friends towards music.
Jeffrey DokkenGUEST
Because it is a piece of music that, like, it is so fun to listen to.
