Silent Woods from the Bohemian Forest
A Ballet World Premiere
Choreography: Wei Wang ( www.sfballet.org/artist/wei-wang )
Dancers: Wei Wang & Julia Rowe ( www.sfballet.org/artist/julia-rowe )
Dvorak originally composed Silent Woods as part of a song cycle for piano four-hands. As was popularly done in his day to transcribe, Dvorak made multiple versions of this particular song for featuring the cello. Like much of his music for cello, it was crafted for his friend, the great cellist Hanus Wihan. They performed it many times on Dvorak’s farewell tour before he moved to America.
The original title by Dvorak in Czech is Klid. His publisher, Simrock, changed the title in German from Die Ruhe, meaning The Silence, to Waldesruhe, meaning Silent Woods.
World premiere of original ballet choreography created by Wei Wang for Jonah Kim, commissioned by Festival Mozaic.
