Ahoy, lovers of symphonic splendour! 

Our treasure hunt leads us to the banks of the Vltava, where Antonín Dvořák returned to his homeland, blending old-world charm with visions from the new. Join us as we uncover the story behind the triumphant debut of Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 (New World), arranged by Marc Koninkx.

🎼 The Clue That Resonates Across Worlds

"In a grand hall beside the Vltava's flow,
A maestro returned home to lead an orchestra's first notes,
Blending old world charm with visions of the new."

The answer lies in the majestic Rudolfinum Concert Hall, Prague, Czech Republic, where Dvořák conducted the inaugural concert of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra on January 4, 1896.

🗺️ The Hall That Echoes History

The Rudolfinum, a jewel of neo-Renaissance architecture, stands proudly by the Vltava River, its halls steeped in the legacy of Czech music. It was here that Dvořák, fresh from his time in America, conducted his New World Symphony, marking a poignant homecoming. This performance celebrated his return and honoured the symphony that had captured the spirit of two continents.

The New World Symphony is a tapestry of longing, exploration, and celebration, weaving Dvořák’s deep love for his homeland with the inspiration he found in America. Its melodies have become immortal, resonating with audiences worldwide as an anthem of universal connection.

🎼 A Musical Journey Across Worlds

Marc Koninkx’s arrangement of the symphony captures its grand, emotive spirit, bringing Dvořák’s masterpiece to life in a way that bridges the old and the new, just as the composer envisioned.
