Young People’s Concert: Shall We Dance?
About This Event
At David Geffen Hall the New York Philharmonic, conducted by Domingo Hindoyan, presents Young People’s Concert: Shall We Dance?, featuring works by Antonín Dvořák. Dvořák’s blending of Bohemian and Moravian folk elements with symphonic form foregrounds rhythm and lyricism, and Hindoyan’s experience with orchestras and opera shapes the Philharmonic’s approach to that repertory.
About Young People’s Concert: Shall We Dance?
At David Geffen Hall, the New York Philharmonic continues its Young People’s Concert tradition with “Shall We Dance?”, a program that uses classical music to examine how rhythm and movement travel between stage, ballroom, and everyday life. Led by conductor Domingo Hindoyan, the concert frames dance not as decoration but as structure, showing how composers build momentum, pulse, and phrasing. Music associated with Antonín Dvořák points to the long exchange between folk dance and concert music, a familiar New York story of imported forms becoming local language. The format makes a persuasive case for listening with the body as well as the ear.
