Chamber Music Amici

There is no shortage of Czech musical talents, but the family ties between Antonín Dvořák and Josef Suk (teacher and student, respectively, and later father and son-in-law) add something special when programming their music together. Dvořák was so impressed with Suk’s piano quartet when he submitted the piece as a class assignment, Suk soon numbered it as his Op. 1. It will be a special experience to listen to Dvořák’s celebrated Piano Quintet side by side with his favorite student’s highly successful Piano Quartet, Op. 1.

PROGRAM
Josef Suk • Piano Quartet in A Minor, Op. 1
Antonín Dvořák • Piano Quintet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 81, B.155
