University Symphony Orchestra

Spotlight Dvořák
Guest conductor and USO member Zachary Glick leads the orchestra in Antonín Dvořák’s evocative tone poem The Wood Dove, Op. 110, one of four works inspired by Karel Erben’s collection of folk ballads. Music Director Barbara Schubert frames the concert with Claude Debussy’s exquisite Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, an exemplar of Impressionist style, and Dvořák’s skillfully crafted Symphony No. 6 in D Major, Op. 60, a work that displays echoes of Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 as well as hallmarks of Dvořák’s newly-solidified mature style.
Some previously streamed and recorded concerts are available to watch on the Department of Music YouTube Channel.
