About The Performance

“Home is where the heart is,” and for Antonin Dvořák, home meant everything. His showpiece sixth symphony is where folk-inspired melodies of his Czech homeland evoke a deep sense of belonging and comfort. In stark contrast, Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto takes on the darker, more turbulent emotions of struggle and defiance. It’s a  powerful journey—from the cozy embrace of home to the intense, emotional depths of resilience.
