Mahler Chamber Orchestra

Spirituals, Native American dances, Bohemian folk music: where do they begin, where do they end – and how exactly do they relate to the venerable genre of the European symphony? Antonín Dvořák's Ninth Symphony «From the New World», written in the USA, answers these questions not in a dry, academic way, but purely musically: the composer's creative power transcends all boundaries and seeks out commonalities instead of differences - a reason why its melodies continue to be whistled by proverbial sparrows today. Ariel Lanyi, the laureate of the «Prix Serdang» 2023, a piano award hosted by Rudolf Buchbinder, plays Mozart's Piano Concerto KV 488.
