Golden autumn with a chamber-warm touch at the Lviv Philharmonic!

Discover the music of Czech composers from the Baroque and Classicism to the early twentieth century in the sight of the best singers and instrumentalists. The program of the chamber series “Autumn of Czech Music in Lviv” includes works that have been proving their quality with time and the audience’s affection: we invite you to hear their specified sound on October 12 and 13.

It is said that every era gives birth to its own geniuses. You will be able to check this at the second event of the “Autumn of Czech Music in Lviv”, which will be presented by string quartets of geniuses of two eras: Romanticism and the twentieth century – Antonín Dvořák and Bohuslav Martinů.

Despite thirty years of difference, their creative paths have many points of intersection, especially geographical ones – Prague, Paris, travels in America, and the landscapes of Czech towns, the distant and cherished homeland, hidden in their hearts.

The Phoenix String Quartet will perform two key quartets by the composers: Quartet No. 1 by Bohuslav Martinů, written during the period of fascination with Impressionism and the Parisian future, and Antonín Dvořák‘s “American” Quartet No. 12, which the composer himself called his most popular quartet.

  Vadym Pedorych, viola
  Dmytro Nikolaiev, cello
