Music from emigre composers. With the 大象传媒 SO live: Ives: The Fourth of July; Decoration Day. Hindemith: Clarinet Concerto. Weill: Four Songs of Walt Whitman. Plus Bloch and Dvorak.

Penny Gore presents the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra at Maida Vale Studio 1 in London in the second live concert of this week celebrating the music composed by Europeans in exile in the United States of America. Pieces by 茅migr茅 composers Paul Hindemith and Kurt Weill are framed by two movements from the Holidays Symphony by American modernist Charles Ives.

Following the concert, Louise Fryer rounds off the week with two of the most famous works written by Europeans in the USA: Bloch's 'Hebrew Rhapsody' Schelomo, expressing emotion he felt stemming from his Jewish heritage, and Dvorak's nostalgic Ninth Symphony: From the New World.
