BEYOND THE
SCORE® - WHOSE WORLD program notes
![]() Jamar Scott, Baritone Les Fonza, Narrator Dan Conboy, Actor Drew Quintero, Actor The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Beyond the Score® program uses actors and projected images to bring new insights into Dvorak's most popular work. Bring your family to this multimedia exploration of Dvorak's inpsiration. Chicago Symphony: Beyond the Score® is produced by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Gerard McBurney, Creative director, Beyond the Score® Martha Gilmer, Executive Producer, Beyond the Score® PRE-CONCERT EVENTS It is natural for Americans familiar with Dvořák's Symphony "From the New World” to wonder about its American elements. Can the mere presence of diversity in itself make a symphony great? John Novak speaks to this issue, and finds that the answer must consider the factors of the 19th-Century central European's romantic notions of America, Dvořák's impressions of his journey to America by ship, the effect of city and country life and touring in America, Dvořák's considerable homesickness for Bohemia and his family, and finally, to a great extent, the influence of H. W. Longfellow's poetic icon, The Legend of Hiawatha.
