Schools Concert: New World Symphony 11.30am and 1.30pm

Fri 13 Feb 2009 11:30am at Symphony Hall

Michael Seal

Set sail for America with the CBSO, to hear the New World as the Czech Antonín DvorËák experienced it in 1893 – full of promise and new sounds. The slow movement of this most popular of symphonies is renowned for featuring on the Hovis advertisement, and today’s performances – devised especially for Key Stage 2 children (years 5 & 6) – make this a perfect introduction to the sights and sounds of symphony orchestra.

“I might be able to play as good as you, if I keep practising.”
