About This Event
Riccardo Muti, conductor
As the Chicago Symphony Orchestra marks its 135th anniversary, Music Director Emeritus for Life Riccardo Muti returns to the Foellinger Great Hall with an all-time orchestral favorite, Dvořák's New World Symphony. Its glorious melodies capture the folk songs and spirituals the composer heard in America, dosed with a heartfelt longing for his Czech homeland. Also on the program is Hindemith's majestic 1939 Mathis der Maler Symphony portraying an eminent Renaissance artist's struggles against political repression. Maestro Muti and the CSO offer us a rousing opening to this program with the Overture to The Gypsy Baron by Johann Strauss, Jr., beloved for its abundance of memorable tunes.
