* Revueltas’s La Noche de los Mayas is not performed on Friday’s matinee concert
Acclaimed conductor Dalia Stasevska returns to Severance for two evocative musical depictions of the American continent. Informed by African American spirituals, Indigenous melodies, and Czech folk songs, Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony proceeds from one memorable tune to another, including its exquisitely yearning slow movement and rollicking finale. Revueltas’s cinematic La Noche de los Mayas takes us farther south for a sonic feast of Yucatán rhythms.
Sunday's concert will be livestreamed on Adella, digital home of The Cleveland Orchestra, and medici.tv.
