2020:
Interval: Elizabeth Alker hears the rehearsal stories of the Voices from the River's Edge Choir. This brand new chorus is made up of 85 young people from across the North East who鈥檝e given up evenings and weekends to sing together. Their grassroots story is a real-life reminder of the ancient link between the classical, contemporary and folk music performed in this concert.
2040:
Dvo艡谩k Symphony No. 9 in E minor, 鈥楩rom the New World鈥�
Spell Songs
Voices from the River's Edge
Royal Northern Sinfonia
Dini Sousa (conductor)
For John Adams, driving rhythms and clean textures were a path to the musical future, with a surprising link to the idealism of America鈥檚 frontier past. Dvo艡谩k 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 Royal Northern Sinfonia collaborate with the choir Voices of the River鈥檚 Edge and Karine Polwart, Rachel Newton and Jim Molyneux from the folk ensemble Spell Songs. A world premiere from Master of the Queen鈥檚 music Judith Weir completes the programme.
