Igudesman & Joo are true masters of musical reinvention, joyfully venturing beyond the boundaries of convention. Their program Sound New World, commissioned by Dvořák Prague, reimagines iconic masterpieces from fresh and often humorous perspectives — humor deeply rooted in a profound understanding of musical traditions. With this approach, they’ll take on Dvořák’s legendary New World Symphony and the Czech-American influences that inspired its creation. The program also pays tribute to the upcoming anniversary of the founding of the country synonymous with the term New World — the United States of America — as well as this year’s anniversaries of Johann Strauss II and Maurice Ravel. program Antonín Dvořák / Aleksey Igudesman / Hyung-ki Joo — Sound New World Antonín Dvořák / Aleksey Igudesman — Humoresque Joseph Haydn / Hyung-ki Joo — Surprising Haydn Aleksey Igudesman / Gioacchino Rossini / Hans Zimmer — Who Can William Tell Ludwig van Beethoven / Hyung-ki Joo — Beethoven through a Philip Glass Eye Maurice Ravel / Hyung-ki Joo — Scarbo Johann Strauss / Aleksey Igudesman — I’m Feelin’ Blue Danube Hans Zimmer / Aleksey Igudesman — Interstellar Variations More Datum und Uhrzeit 11. 9. 2025, 20:00 Übergeordnete Aktionen festivals The Dvořák Prague International Music Festival 5. 9. 2025 — 23. 9. 2025
