Bamberger Symphoniker: Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony listing on Broadway Baby

The legend goes that composers late works can often be their finest. This concert demonstrates just that: Johannes Brahmss Double Concerto " performed here with star soloists Isabelle Faust and Sol Gabetta " was his orchestral swansong, intimately written for two close friends. Its outer movements are brimming with exciting virtuoso episodes, while its expansive central Andante is adored for its melodic beauty.

Antonn Dvok wrote his final symphony, From the New World, during his tenure as director of Americas National Conservatory of Music. His inspirations include African American spirituals and Henry Wadsworth Longfellows The Song of Hiawatha, an epic poem about Native American life.

Jakub Hra and the Bamberger Symphonikers recordings of Brahms and Dvok symphonies have been hailed by BBC Music Magazine as first class. This is a chance to hear them live in this special tribute to two Romantic geniuses.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
