SMETANA Selected Works for Piano
DVOŘÁK Piano Quintet in A major, B. 155, Op. 81 1887

Dvořák, more than any other composer before him, successfully brought the music of his homeland into the concert hall, blending folk tradition with art music. His works have endless, universal appeal, from his rollicking Slavonic Dances to the large-scale, fully realized Sextet in A major. Selected short piano works by fellow countryman Bedřich Smetana provide context and a glimpse at Dvořák's musical roots. Concert at 8:00 PM. Pre-concert conversation with Garyth Nair and CMS Artists at 7:15 PM.
