Influenced by Native American folk songs, Black spirituals, and his native Bohemia, Dvořák’s “New World Symphony” whisks audiences away to the vast tapestry of Americana. World-renowned in their own right, the Shaham siblings, foremost violinist Gil and consummate pianist Orli, join the Virginia Symphony to perform a world premiere concerto composed by Indian-American composer Reena Esmail. 

This performance is co-presented by the Ferguson Center for the Arts and the Virginia Symphony. Additional support has been provided by the Virginia Arts Festival.
