About Fellow Travelers
The land of unlimited possibilities: the United States. Or does it just seem that way? Neither Béla Bartók nor Antonín Dvořák could find happiness there, despite their fame. But no one can deny that it does something to you as soon as you see the Manhattan skyline looming before you. An American party, then, with works by American ‘minimal’ composer John Adams, and the aforementioned European composers Dvořák and Bartók, both of whom moved to New York and wrote some of their greatest masterpieces there.
This program is part of Bartók Bound.
