"From its opening video images of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island to the final shots of the Statue of Liberty, Peter Boyer's Ellis Island: The Dream of America is a work of rare authenticity and directness" (The Los Angeles Times). A multi-media creation incorporating seven actors plus projected historical images from the Ellis Island archives with full symphony orchestra, Boyer's Ellis Island celebrates the historic American immigrant experience and the American dream, providing its audiences with a "uniquely moving experience" (Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation).
Antonin Dvorak's heart-warming Symphony No. 9 in E minor, "From the New World" - inspired by Longfellow and infused with the flavor of American spirituals and folk tunes - opens this extraordinary program.

Jean Sibelius' highly dramatic Symphony No. 2 in D Major, often considered an expression of the composer's nationalistic sentiments and Finland's struggle for political liberty, is the focal piece on the DSO's March concert. The program opens with another nationalistic tribute: William Schuman's New England Triptych, an eloquent and appealing setting of three familiar American folk tunes: Be Glad Then, America; When Jesus Wept; and Chester.
The first-place winner of the DSO's 2012 Young Artists Auditions, open to high school students in DuPage and collar communities, also performs on this concert.
