The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra (hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt) regularly performs its chamber music concerts at the Homberg (Efze) town hall. This time, musicians from within the orchestra will present a captivating quintet program featuring works by Antonín Dvořák. The two chamber music pieces to be experienced are brimming with the musical tradition and inexhaustible spirit of the Czech metropolis on the Vltava River. One is delightfully light in tone and lyrical, inviting the listener to sing along; the other is rich in melodic invention, lush sound, masterful form, and late-Romantic pathos.

With a captivating quintet program, the hr-Symphony Orchestra's chamber concerts enrich this season's Arolsen Castle Concerts. The program is by the Czech master Antonín Dvořák. And the two chamber music pieces that will be performed are brimming with the musical tradition and inexhaustible spirit of the Czech metropolis on the Vltava River. One is delightfully light in tone and lyrical, inviting the listener to sing along; the other is rich in melodic invention, lush sound, masterful form, and late-Romantic pathos.

Arolsen Castle

Der Tscheche Bedřich Smetana hat der Musikwelt viele große Werke geschenkt – auch in der Kammermusik. Zu seinem 200. Geburtstag breitet das Hába Quartett ein Füllhorn seiner wundervollen Kompositionen aus. Von böhmischer Melodiefreude sind sie erfüllt wie von heimischen Tänzen und Romantik. Von zwei von der Schönheit der heimischen Landschaft und der unverfälschten Musikalität ihrer Bewohner kündenden Violin-Duos führt der Bogen dabei über die mitreißenden beiden Streichquartette Smetanas bis hin zu einer Klavierquintett-Adaption seiner wohl berühmtesten Komposition: »Die Moldau«.
