Interval: Elizabeth Alker hears the rehearsal stories of the Voices from the River's Edge Choir. This brand new chorus is made up of 85 young people from across the North East who’ve given up evenings and weekends to sing together. Their grassroots story is a real-life reminder of the ancient link between the classical, contemporary and folk music performed in this concert.

2040:
Dvořák Symphony No. 9 in E minor, ‘From the New World’

Spell Songs
Voices from the River's Edge
Royal Northern Sinfonia
Dini Sousa (conductor)

For John Adams, driving rhythms and clean textures were a path to the musical future, with a surprising link to the idealism of America’s frontier past. Dvořák meant his Ninth Symphony as a salute to his American hosts, and yet every note glows with passionate longing for his home, far away in rural Bohemia. The common thread is folklore, and in this Prom from Sage Gateshead, Dinis Sousa and Royal Northern Sinfonia collaborate with the choir Voices of the River’s Edge and Karine Polwart, Rachel Newton and Jim Molyneux from the folk ensemble Spell Songs. A world premiere from Master of the Queen’s music Judith Weir completes the programme.
