The Dvořák American Heritage Association (DAHA) commemorates, celebrates, and continues to explore composer Antonín Dvořák's extraordinary musical contributions, with a special emphasis on his influential residency in the United States in the years 1892 to 1895. From its home in the beautifully restored Bohemian National Hall in New York City, DAHA offers concerts, lectures, and educational programs. At the heart of these activities is the Dvořák Room, a recently created exhibition and study space with adjacent performance venues, that will inspire present and future generations by preserving the composer's American legacy. DAHA is further committed to increasing knowledge and appreciation of music from the Czech Lands and related areas, from early works to the 21st century.

Culminating the international Year of Czech Music 2024 and the unprecedented Carnegie Hall residency of the Czech Philharmonic under the direction of Maestro Semyon Bychkov, DAHA presented the inaugural Antonín Dvořák Prize. The award was given in honor of the extraordinary contributions to music of the Czech lands by the orchestra and conductor, who offered three consecutive performances with superstar soloists, each program pairing one of Dvořák’s singular concertos with outstanding orchestral masterworks from the Czech repertoire.
