Antonín Dvořák
Symphony No. 5
“We open our season celebrating music by Black women composers past and present. Pairing their compositions with Antonín Dvořák’s is particularly apt, since it was another African-American composer, Harry T. Burleigh, who introduced Dvořák to American folk songs and spirituals, which inspired his Ninth Symphony, From the New World.”
