Featuring the international award-winning Trio Bohémo, this concert will be a rare occasion to hear both composers and performers from the Czech lands. Dvořak’s famous “Dumky” Piano Trio is at the heart of their program, where melancholy and joy are felt in quick succession. In “Moravian Folk Songs”, the performers’ own voices will join the colours of their instruments with traditional melodies from the artists’ homeland by Czech composer Jan Vičar. Framing the program: a Haydn trio overflowing with elegance and wit, and the fiery virtuosity of Mendelssohn’s first piano trio.

Cecilian Chamber Series - Trio Bohémo

Darke Hall

The acclaimed vocal ensemble Gentlemen Singers has accepted an invitation to our special concert in May. In the opening notes of Echos of Folksongs by Leoš Janáček, we can hear the young composer influenced by folk music, his travels in Moravia and his first experiences as a choirmaster.

In stark contrast there are the Brigand Songs commissioned from Bohuslav Martinů at the end of his life by the Prague Teachers’ Choir (I) and the Moravian Teachers’ Choir (II).

For the May concert, Gentlemen Singers, together with the violinist Lucia Fulka Kopsová, will also perform Zdeněk Lukáš’s song cycle Spring is Coming, whose choral works are inspired by folk motifs and are characterized by melodic inventiveness, rhythmic vitality and ability to express strong emotions.
