Program and why it’s special in Lanzarote
Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 “From the New World” is one of the most recognisable pieces in the symphonic repertoire: broad melodies, rhythms inspired by popular music and a constant sense of travel and discovery. Hearing it on a volcanic island like Lanzarote creates a striking contrast between romantic European music and the Atlantic landscape.
The New World Symphony
- Composer: Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904)
- Premiere: 1893, New York
- Structure: four movements with themes that evoke travel, nostalgia and the meeting of cultures
- Why it’s so popular: it combines very memorable melodies with powerful orchestration; even people who rarely attend concerts often recognise some of its themes
For many classical music lovers, it is an ideal work to get into symphonies, but it also continues to move those who know the repertoire well.
The Lanzarote Ensemble
Lanzarote Ensemble is the island’s symphonic group linked to the Cabildo de Lanzarote, made up of professional musicians who develop part of their artistic activity on the island. Their project focuses on bringing classical music closer to local audiences and visitors, with programmes that combine great works from the repertoire with less familiar pieces.
- Format: around thirty musicians in an expanded chamber orchestra setup
- Goal: to offer high-level concerts at accessible prices
- Repertoire: from classicism to the 20th century, with special attention to emblematic symphonic works
Listening to the New World Symphony performed by a home-grown orchestra in a theatre like El Salinero is a great opportunity both for music lovers and for visitors looking for a different cultural experience during their stay.
Practical tips
- Arrive early: aim to be at the theatre at least 30 minutes before the start time to pick up your ticket if you bought it online, find your seat calmly and avoid last-minute queues.
- Online tickets: seats are sold through the official Cultura Lanzarote ticketing platform. It’s best to purchase in advance, especially if you are going with a group.
- Parking: there is usually on-street parking around the theatre. On event nights it can get busier, so arriving a little earlier helps you find a spot without stress.
- Dress code: formal wear is not required; comfortable clothing is fine, plus a light jacket in case it’s cool when you leave.
- For first-timers: if this is your first symphonic concert, you may want to skim the story behind the piece in advance; you will easily recognise some of the main themes during the performance.
- Language: the music is purely instrumental, which makes this concert perfect for both local audiences and international visitors.
