From the Danube to the Moldau is a symphonic journey through the great rivers of classical
music. Framing the program are two beloved masterpieces: Johann Strauss Jr’s On The Beautiful
Blue Danube, one of the world’s most famous waltzes, and Smetana’s The Moldau, a sweeping
tribute to the Czech river’s path. Duke Ellington’s The River adds a rich jazz-infused ballet score,
blending classical and swing-era brilliance. Along the route of the Danube in Vienna is the
birthplace of Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D Minor, which ties the program to the landscapes that
inspired these works.
