About the Concert

Dvořák was happy in America, at least when he created his symphony "From the New World." And you can also hear in the "American Quartet" that he was doing well beyond the ocean. His task was nothing less than to contribute to the creation of an American national music, and it was even desired that he incorporate elements of the music of his Bohemian homeland. What we hear in this concert arrangement for five wind players was something completely new and at the same time familiar in his time. His fellow countryman Leoš Janáček also used the familiar, specifically the tone of the Czech language, in his music. He created the suite "Mládí" (Youth) shortly before his 70th birthday, when he compiled musical memories from his life. The program of the philharmonic wind players is rounded off by a work by Josef Bohuslav Foerster, another composer who brings to life the special Bohemian-Czech "sound" of our neighboring country.
