About
Antonín Leopold Dvořák (8 September 1841 – 1 May 1904) was a Czech composer who created pieces heavily influenced by the folk music of Moravia and his native Bohemia. This poster is to advertise one of his most popular pieces, Symphony No. 9 in E minor, "From the New World", Op. 95, B. 178 (Czech: Symfonie č. 9 e moll "Z nového světa"), popularly known as the New World Symphony. A tape recording of it was taken by Neil Armstrong into space on the Apollo 11 Mission. The piece is nicknamed 'The New World' because he wrote it during his time in the United States while simultaneously longing for his home.
Process
The text on the poster has been manipulated to imitate the view an astronaut has from space. The information for the time and location of the concert are shaped like elliptical galaxies, while the title 'New World Symphony' is repeated in shades of green, brown, and blue to represent the Earth's surface.
