Europe and America. A program that keeps together two authors, Martinů and Dvořák, who find themselves citizens of the world and leave their homeland, the current Czech Republic.

Dvořák, who opens the programme with the Carnival Overture, crosses the ocean to conduct the New York Conservatory at the end of the nineteenth century, while Martinů, whose challenging and rare Rhapsody-Concerto for viola and orchestra is proposed, is forced to leave Europe to escape the dark times brought by World War II. We delve into this dense program crowned by Schumann's Third Symphony, with the baton of Cornelius Meister, since 2018 Generalmusikdirektor of the Staatsoper and Staatsorchester in Stuttgart, and the viola of Sarah McElravy, a multifaceted musician active both as a violinist and as a violist.
