Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9,
“From The New World”

Movement 1, "Adagio - Allegro Molto"

Contextualized beautifully by the incomparable Dr. Shadle, “From the New World” has always served as a reminder that any platform, no matter the size, can be used to highlight the disparity between those who have and those who have not. Art has always been political. Art will always be political. I firmly believe that the same message this piece delivered in 1893 should be heard far and wide, now, in 2020.
