Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony
Conductor: Shiyeon Sung
Cello: Zlatomir Fung (RPO Artist-in-Residence, 2023–24)
Beethoven: Leonore Overture No.3
Haydn: Cello Concerto in C major
Dvořák: Symphony No.9, ‘From the New World’
Don’t mention the Hovis ad – if you can even remember it – because with its great tunes, grand emotions and sweeping drama – Dvořák’s Symphony No.9, ‘From the New World’ was a favourite with audiences the world over long before TV even existed. It’s the exuberant ending to a concert that begins with Beethoven’s mighty musical drama of courage, struggle and freedom – the soul-stirring Leonore Overture No.3. RPO Artist-in-Residence Zlatomir Fung then brings all his brilliance, grace and wit to Joseph ‘Papa’ Haydn’s perfectly-cut jewel of a cello concerto. We warmly welcome conductor Shiyeon Sung, who has been described as ‘a real trailblazer’; together with Beethoven, Haydn, Dvořák and the full RPO, she promises to bring pure sunshine to a February night in the heart of Hull.
