From the Old World to the New – Europe and the Americas represented by a century of orchestral masterpieces. Smetana's folk-tinged opera overture dazzles like wedding finery; Tchaikovsky draws on Ukrainian traditional tunes for his famous concerto; Dvořák, newly arrived in New York, fused central European folk music with American spirituals. Astor Piazzolla's sultry "new" tango closes an evening of transatlantic cross-cultural fusion.
