American Dream
Saturday, October 1, 7:30PM
Bella Hristova, violin
Yaniv Dinur, conductor
Wynton Marsalis: Violin Concerto
Antonín Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 “From the New World”
Jazz, blues, habanera, spirituals, and anthems are all part of this whirlwind of a violin concerto by American Jazz legend, Wynton Marsalis, and performed by sensational Bulgarian-American violinist Bella Hristova. Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony is considered the first attempt to write an American symphony. Is it a depiction of the New World, or an expression of longing for the “old” one? That’s up to our audience to decide.

In the second half, Yaniv Dinur is the soloist in Brahms’ symphonic First Piano Concerto.

Yaniv Dinur, conductor
Anna Clyne: Masquerade
Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Concerto
William Walton: Symphony No. 1
One of today’s leading violinists, Vadim Gluzman brings his artistry to perform Beethoven’s immortal violin concerto, a piece full of beauty and invention that is born out of four drum strikes. English music rounds out this program: Anna Clyne’s masterful treatment of the orchestra in Masquerade, and William Walton’s First Symphony –arguably the greatest symphony written in the 20th century, full of intoxicating rhythms and virtuosic orchestral playing.
Mahler’s Farewell
Saturday, April 8, 7:30PM
Yaniv Dinur, conductor
Deconstructing Mahler –an inside look into Mahler’s last symphony
Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 9
In the first half of this unique concert, Yaniv and the NBSO will take apart Mahler’s last symphony and look at it through the musician's lens, using live demonstrations and explanations from the stage. After intermission, they will perform the entire symphony, Mahler’s swan song, and perhaps his most personal work.
Korsantia Plays the “Emperor”
Saturday, May 20, 7:30 PM
Alexander Korsantia, piano
Yaniv Dinur, conductor
Valerie Coleman: Umoja, Anthem of Unity
Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 (Emperor)
Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 10
This program features three composers who, each in their own way, call for unity and peace. American composer Valerie Coleman writes an anthem for kindness and humanity that fights injustice and racism. New Bedford’s favorite Alexander Korsantia performs the majestic Fifth Piano Concerto of Beethoven – perhaps the most famous humanist composer. The NBSO concludes the season with Shostakovich’s 10th Symphony, a piece full of pain, terror, and, finally – immense joy. Using his own initials translated into musical notes, Shostakovich signifies the triumph of the individual over a terrorizing and dehumanizing regime.
