Czechs & Diamonds
Saturday, February 11, 2017 | 8 p.m.
7 p.m. Conductors Talk with Maestro Jonathan McPhee
8 p.m. Czechs & Diamonds – All Strings Concert
Cary Hall, 1605 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA
This program features Lexington Symphony’s string section performing pieces by two of the Czech Republic’s most important composers: Antonin Dvořák’s and Leoš Janáček.
Dvořák was a noted teacher brought to the United States to help American composers create a national style, while Janáček was one of the most important exponents of musical nationalism of the 20th century who often utilized Czech folk melodies in his work.
The third composition in this dazzling program is by American composer David Diamond, whose career is best summed up by this comment by his friend and colleague Leonard Bernstein: “[David is] .
'a vital branch in the stream of American music.”
