BBLA–DAHA is pleased to announce the acquisition of a Steinway grand piano. The tradition of the Steinway piano within the Czech community reaches back to the New York residency of Antonín Dvořák, who was among the earliest “Steinway artists.”
This year, the year of Czech Music 2024, DAHA awarded its first Antonín Dvořák Prize, an award given to distinguished musicians or artistic institutions for their extraordinary contributions in the field of music of the Czech lands. The Prize is a high quality Czech crystal glass plaque created by the Halama Glass Company.
Professor Michael Beckerman received an honorary doctorate degree in musicology from Masaryk University in Brno, adding to his numerous international awards and recognition. Professor Beckerman is Carroll and Milton Petrie Collegiate Professor of Music at New York University and Vice President of the Dvořák American Heritage Association.
The Dvořák American Heritage Association congratulates Professor Michael Beckerman on the occasion of his receiving the prestigious Gratias Agit Award honoring outstanding individuals who contribute to spreading the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Czech culture abroad.
