Alexander conducts Dvořák
Inspired by Russian legends of nocturnal revels, Night on Bald Mountain depicts a fiery witches' sabbath that inspired Walt Disney's 1940 animated film Fantasia. Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 8 dwells in a sunny, pastoral world filled with Bohemian folk melodies, rustic peasant dances, and lamenting nostalgia. Ying Li brings her many strengths to Ludwig van Beethoven's youthfully brilliant Piano Concerto, before the orchestra performs Florence Price's Andante Moderato.
