CZECH MASTERS
On this season-finale concert featuring music by three great Czech composers, John Storgårds and Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt kick things off with Martinů’s invigorating, folk-tune-infused Three Madrigals for Violin and Viola—a work that also draws inspiration from Beethoven and Renaissance music. William Hagen, Clive Greensmith, and Anthony Manzo play the delightful Trio in G Major for Violin, Cello, and Double Bass by 18th-century Classical composer Josef Mysliveček, who was a close friend of Mozart’s, and, to bring the program—and the season—to a powerful close, pianist Juho Pohjonen joins forces with the Dover Quartet for one of the most beloved standouts of the chamber music repertoire: Dvořák’s rousing Piano Quintet, Op. 81.
