There are seven weeks until the next Sinfonietta Nova concert, an all-Dvořák program, which will feature the Cello Concerto in B Minor and the Symphony No. 7. The season’s theme is “The Magnificent Seventh.” Each Sinfonietta Nova concert has included at least one seventh symphony, so far by Haydn, Beethoven, Prokofiev, William Boyce and Niels Wilhelm Gade.

Since I’ve been providing the program notes for some of the concerts, I was asked by the group’s music director, Gail Lee, if I would come up with seven fun facts about Dvořák that might be featured on the orchestra’s Facebook page in the weeks leading up to the concert. The first was posted today. You’ll find it by following the link, Sinfonietta Nova.

Sinfonietta Nova performs at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Princeton Junction. The Dvořák concert, the orchestra’s season finale, will take place on May 9 at 7:30 p.m. This year’s Sinfonietta Nova Youth Concerto Competition winner, Chase Park, will be the soloist in the Cello Concerto.
