In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the première of Dvořák's New World Symphony, Sony Classics sponsored an all-Dvořák concert to take place in the Smetana Hall in Prague exactly one hundred years after the symphony's American première. The high profile artists included cellist Yo Yo Ma, who suggested Morawetz to Sony Classics as the person to arrange two Dvořák works for violin, cello and orchestra, allowing Mr. Ma, violinist Itzhak Perlman, and Seiji Ozawa conducting the Boston Symphony to perform together.

Morawetz chose to arrange Dvořák's Humoresque in G, and Slavonic Dance in E- for the occasion. The concert was broadcast on PBS TV, and Sony Classics later released the concert on video and CD.

The following are the two pages from the program booklet, signed by the performing musicians:
