The vibrant color, folk melodies, dance rhythms, and high-spirited energy of the Czech giant, Antonín Dvořák, make for an uplifting evening!
This live performance opens with the delightful first-string quartet by Franz Joseph Haydn (considered the father of the string quartet). In the middle, the captivating sounds of Bohuslav Martinů's Three Madrigals for Violin and Viola add a touch of Czech modernism, creating a varied and diverse program.
