Colors of Sound invites you to experience chamber music’s emotional power up close. The program opens with Philip Wharton’s Hussite Fantasy, a vivid work inspired by a legendary Czech hymn said to have turned armies to flight. Shimmering textures give way to bold rhythms—including a wild furiant and a quasi-medieval finale—imbued with Wharton’s personal connection to the region where Dvořák once summered.

Old and New explores the intersection of tradition and innovation through the intimate sounds of flute, oboe, cello, and harpsichord. Trio sonatas by J.S. Bach and J.J. Quantz provide the elegant backbone of the program—models of baroque balance and interplay. Czech composer Ilja Hurnik’s Sonata da camera draws from this same lineage, infusing the style with 20th-century wit and rhythmic charm.
