How did folk music enter the concert hall? Why did it inspire many of music’s greatest masters? What controversies were ignited when folk tunes and spirituals found their way into the symphonies of Dvořák and others?

Arild Remmereit presents American classics – by Dvořák and Amy Beach – each drawing liberally on folk tunes imported here and spirituals shaped here. Yom Kippur will be recognized with Principal Cellist Stefan Reuss playing Bruch's Kol Nidrei, and RPO Concertmaster Juliana Athayde will explore the folk heritage of Norwegian composer Johan Svendsen’s Romance for Violin.

Subscribers can choose what the RPO will perform: a symphonic folk dance from one of five composers including Copland, Brahms, Dvořák, Coleridge-Taylor, and Grieg!
