Music from both American hemispheres features tonight. First the masterpiece through which the Bohemian Dvo艡谩k, resident in New York, sought to establish an American musical identity, a symphony exuding nostalgia for his own native woods and fields.

Later comes Copland鈥檚 iconic Fanfare and highlights from Ginastera鈥檚 best-known score. Joan Tower, whose childhood was spent partly in Bolivia, celebrates 鈥榳omen who take risks and are adventurous鈥�, while distinguished Brazilian pianist Nelson Freire returns to the Proms to play one of Villa-Lobos鈥檚 most attractive compositions.
