Acadèmia 1830 is a musical association that was founded in 2011 with the intention of diffusing the grand repertoire of classical music throughout the Balearics.
The academy comprises a choir and orchestra, including a chamber section. One of its principal aims is to bring classical music to new audiences, so it is perhaps appropriate that its latest concert has a large serving of the "new", even if Antonin Dvorak's 'New World Symphony' is now 131 years old.
One of the most popular and recognisable of all classical works, it was an immediate sensation when it premiered at New York's Carnegie Hall. The end of every movement was met with thunderous applause.
Many years later, Neil Armstrong took a recording of the symphony on the Apollo 11 mission, while it also famously provided the theme for Ridley Scott's Hovis advert.
