Join us for a deep dive into the origins of this iconic piece.

Performed in collaboration with Black Voices, tonight we look to explore the origins of music we know and love. Presenter Linton Stephens is taking us on a deep dive into the history and context of Dvořák’s 9th Symphony, hoping to offer insight and further understanding into the music and poetry that inspired its creation.

We’re hugely grateful for the generous support provided by Dunard Fund towards our CBSO Explores series.
