Czech Chamber Music Society Janáček Quartet

Czech Chamber Music Society ⬩ Janáček Quartet

The Janáček Quartet, an ensemble with almost eighty years of tradition, will present its interpretation version of the late and now iconic work of Leoš Janáček. On the contrary, Antonín Dvořák wrote the melancholic Quartet in D minor when he was still a young, unknown author. Between the two works, dedicated to the celebration of the Year of Czech Music, Dmitri Shostakovich's Seventh Quartet will be heard, which the author dedicated to the memory of his wife Nina.
