Dvorak Plus Series

Antonín Dvorák was born near Prague on 8 September 1841, so September 2011 marks his 170th anniversary. Starting this month, Wigmore Hall presents a series of eight concerts celebrating the life and music of this still-underrated 19th-century master in company with music by other composers who were important to him. Two of the leading Czech string quartets – the Škampa and the Pavel Haas quartets – and the Gould Piano Trio explore his chamber music, while mezzo Bernarda Fink is joined by pianist Roger Vignoles in song recitals. With other artists including pianist Stephen Hough and viola player Nobuko Imai, why not join us for this feast of melodic richness, rhythmic energy and sheer joie de vivre?
