Soprano Janai Brugger joins Music Director Kwamé Ryan and the Orchestra for works exploring themes of home, nostalgia, and longing, including "The Trees on the Mountain" from Floyd's Susannah and Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915.
The evening culminates with Dvořák's "New World" Symphony. Composed during his time in the United States, this symphony blends elements of his Czech heritage with American musical influences, capturing the excitement of a new world while reflecting his deep yearning for home, particularly through the moving melody, later turned into the popular song, "Goin' Home."
