MARQUEZ Danzón No. 2
DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 9 From the New World

Inspirational folk music from the Americas.

Dvořák's New World Symphony, perhaps best-known for its Largo theme inspiring a certain bread advert campaign, concludes a concert of popular folk-inspired music from North and South America. Copland's melody Simple Gifts from his ballet Appalachian Spring inspired the Lord of the Dance, while his Fanfare for the Common Man opens the concert with the quintessential sound of Americana.

Arturo Márquez's Danzón No. 2 has fast become a concert staple since its performances by the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra under Gustavo Dudamel, with its lively rhythms. Fellow Venezuelan and assistant to Dudamel, conductor José Salazar brings further Latin American energy to the De Montfort Hall podium.
