Celebration Antonín Dvořák
Czech composer Antonín Dvořák’s musical legacy has roots in both the old and new world. After building his reputation as a composer in Europe, he became the Director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York. There, he wrote two of his most famous works: Symphony No. 9 and Cello Concerto in B Minor. Both works are among the most influential in their forms and are still performed to appreciative audiences in America, Europe, and the rest of the world.
