Composers live life in the fast lane, creating music at a rate of knots, especially when they are influenced by the places they visit. So, fasten your seat belts as we join seven composers hit with the travel bug, starting with
Short Ride in a Fast machine by America's most famous living composer. Dvořák made it to America in a steamboat, and his
New World Symphony reflects both his Bohemian roots and the spiritual melodies of his new home, while Debussy’s music for Ibéria creates a perfect audio snapshot of Spain. We reach the climax of our three-part musical journey with Oscar-winning composer, Dario Marianelli, and two magnificent film themes inspired by dangerous journeys bring the concert to a roaring close – Rozsa’s
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and Schifrin’s
Mission Impossible.
