Music from the New World

TUESDAY, 14 JUNE 2022
9:00 P.M.
HOFBURG BRIXEN

Accompanied by the BrixenClassics Festival Orchestra under the baton of conductor Daniel Geiss, internationally acclaimed star violinist Daniel Hope is set to transport the audience into a midsummer night’s dream in the Renaissance courtyard of Brixen’s Hofburg palace.

At Music from the New World, experience classical music as you’ve never heard it before. Richard Wagner’s Meistersinger Overture – which truly opened the door to a whole new world when it was first performed – will be followed by Max Bruch’s famous Violin Concerto No. 1, a piece that, with its ardent depth of expression, explored completely uncharted emotional territory.

Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 was written “From the New World”. Inspired by the Bohemian composer’s three-year stay in America, the piece combines the various musical sounds of America and is something of a tribute to the music from the then very young United States of America.

The evening will end with highlights from Hope’s Hollywood Sounds programme featuring some fantastic tunes from classic Hollywood films. While putting together Hollywood Sounds, Hope immersed himself in the unique world of film music, conducting extensive research into the European composers who shaped the sounds of Hollywood. Taking on the role of a cultural archaeologist, Hope delved into biographies, archives (including the archives of Paramount Studios in Hollywood) and personal papers, and set out to uncover the stories of Hollywood’s immigrants, interviewing their children, grandchildren and other surviving relatives.
