Bamberger Symphoniker Residency: Beyond the Score® - Dvořák’s New World Symphony listing on Broadway Baby

Beyond the Score offers illuminating multimedia investigations into iconic compositions. Its productions weave together live music and acting with stunning visuals to tell fascinating stories about the artistic, social, political and cultural contexts in which musical masterpieces were created.

In this family-friendly event, the Bamberger Symphoniker and their Chief Conductor Jakub Hra, narrator Gerard McBurney and guest artists including actors and a gospel singer explore Dvoks Ninth Symphony, From the New World. Discover how the composer felt inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellows epic poem The Song of Hiawatha, as well as Native American music and the songs and dances of his homeland to create one of the first truly multicultural symphonies.

Beyond the Score has plenty to offer classical aficionados and newcomers alike.

The Bamberger Symphoniker Residency is supported by James and Morag Anderson with additional support from Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany

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.
