Event Description
Antonín Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony recalls the Bohemian countryside with simplicity and nostalgia, bringing the listener on excursions through open fields and dense woods. Conductor Laureate Herbert Blomstedt opens this distinctly Bohemian program with the SF Symphony premiere of Jan Vaclav Voříšek’s Symphony in D major, a work deeply influenced by the soaring melodies and grand orchestral sounds of his Romantic musical heroes.
