Chamber Music Amici presents Suk & Dvorák

There is no shortage of Czech musical talents, but the family ties between Antonín Dvorák and Josef Suk (teacher and student, respectively, and later father and son-in-law) add something special when programming their music together. Dvorák was so impressed with Suk’s piano quartet when he submitted the piece as a class assignment, Suk soon numbered it as his Op. 1. It will be a special experience to listen to Dvorák’s celebrated Piano Quintet side by side with his favorite student’s highly successful Piano Quartet, Op. 1. PROGRAM Josef Suk • Piano Quartet in A minor, Op. 1 Antonín Dvorák • Piano Quintet No. 2 in A major, Op. 81, B.155 MUSICIANS Eunhye Grace Choi, piano Sunmi Chang, violin Lillie Manis, viola Steven Pologe, cello Sharon Schuman, violin The concert includes a pre-concert talk exploring the lives and works of the composers and a free post-concert dessert reception to connect with the performers and fellow music enthusiasts.
