QPO Presents: Dvořák's From the New World in Doha

Conductor Elias Grandy leads the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra in an evening that travels from the grand Romanticism of Vienna to the open landscapes of the American frontier. Pianist Joseph Moog (a Gramophone Young Artist of the Year and Grammy nominee), joins the orchestra for Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2, a sweeping, richly emotional work that unfolds like a conversation between soloist and orchestra. After the interval, Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 "From the New World," takes the stage. Composed during the Czech composer's years in America, it blends the folk spirit of his homeland with the sounds of a new continent, and remains one of the most beloved symphonies ever written.
