The spirited ArtsAhimsa ensemble returned for its ninth season with chamber works by Antonín Dvořák and Johannes Brahms on Sunday, April 14th. The richly varied repertoire – ranging from solo instrument to quintet – included Dvořák’s inventive Humoresques Opus 101 nos. 1 and 7 (the latter arranged for violin and piano by Kreisler); selections from Dvořák’s “Dumky” Trio; the rarely heard Dvořák String Quartet No. 5 in F Minor, Opus 9; plus the Piano Quintet in F Minor, Opus 34, composed by Dvořák’s mentor, Johannes Brahms.
On Friday, April 20th, DAHA’s audience at the Bohemian National Hall witnessed the American premiere of the exciting new piano arrangement of Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony “From the New World,” created and performed by contemporary Czech composer/conductor/pianist Kryštof Mařatka.
DAHA’s concert of Sunday, September 24th ended with a standing ovation for the superb New York Philharmonic musicians and friends. It was the second annual concert in DAHA’s multi-year survey of Dvořák’s complete chamber works.
The tradition of Sunday afternoon musicales in the late 19th century continued on May 7th as the spirited ArtsAhimsa ensemble with violinist Laura Jean Goldberg returned for its seventh season with chamber works and song from the repertoire of Antonín Dvořák, his contemporaries, and students.
On March 26, 2017, the Aaron Copland School of Music Orchestra returned to the Bohemian National Hall for a performance of Antonín Dvořák’s world-famous “Cello Concerto” under the baton of Maestro Maurice Peress.
