Indelible, miraculous

Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, op. 95 B. 178

Approved

Symphonies from new worlds, with deep roots in the old. For John Adams, driving rhythms and clean textures were a path to the musical future, with a surprising link to the idealism of America’s frontier past. Dvořák meant his Ninth Symphony as a salute to his American hosts, and yet every note glows with passionate longing for his home, far away in rural Bohemia. The common thread is folklore, and in this Prom from Sage Gateshead, Dinis Sousa and the Royal Northern Sinfonia collaborate with the young Tyneside community choir Voices of the River’s Edge and the folk ensemble Spell Songs to bridge centuries, and continents, with the shared joy of grassroots music-making. A world premiere from Master of the Queen's music Judith Weir completes the programme. She sets Indelible Miraculous, a poem by Julia Darling.
