Cost: Free
The 40-member New City Sinfonia will present the profound Symphony No. 7, in D Minor by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák. Considered by many to be the composer’s finest symphony, this work has passages of dark drama as well as Dvořák’s trademark lovely melodies and Czech flavor. The program will also feature Carl Maria von Weber’s Andante and Hungarian Rondo, with Music Teachers Association Competition winner Zackery Edwards as bassoon soloist, the haunting “Blades of Grass,” inspired by a Carl Sanburg poem, by American composer Romeo Cascarino, and two of the vibrant Hungarian Dances of Johannes Brahms.
