Dvořák and Korngold

Experience a captivating evening of music that bridges the worlds of classical concert halls and Hollywood’s Golden Age with Dvořák and Korngold. Witness the extraordinary María Dueñas, hailed by Bachtrack for her "gorgeous sound—dense, warm, and brilliant" and "immaculate technique," as she returns to Walt Disney Concert Hall to perform Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s mesmerizing Violin Concerto. This breathtaking concerto draws upon themes from Korngold’s iconic film scores – *Another Dawn*, *Anthony Adverse*, and *The Prince and the Pauper* – offering a unique glimpse into the genius of a child prodigy who became one of Hollywood’s most influential composers. Making his Los Angeles Philharmonic debut, Colombian conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada leads the performance, beautifully contrasting Korngold’s theatrical flair with the profound depth of Antonin Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7. Dvořák, aiming to “make a stir in the world” with his Seventh, crafted a powerfully evocative work renowned for its rich lyrical melodies and dramatic percussion. Prepare to be transported by an unforgettable program that celebrates both cinematic brilliance and timeless orchestral mastery.
