New Jersey Symphony: Gil Shaham Plays Dvorak
About This Event
Violinist Gil Shaham appears with the New Jersey Symphony at NJPAC to perform music by Antonín Dvořák. Dvořák's scores draw on Moravian and Bohemian folk rhythms and fold them into the symphonic tradition; Shaham's career as a soloist places him among interpreters attentive to those national and rhythmic elements.
