Marking the 175th Anniversaries of both Antonín Dvořák and the New York Philharmonic, DAHA launched a multi-year concert series presenting all of Dvořák’s chamber works on Sunday, September 18th. Featuring NY Philharmonic musicians and friends, the first concert included a Dvořák masterpiece: Quintet in E flat Op. 97, the “American,” as well as two rarely heard works: the Four Romantic Pieces for Violin and Piano Op. 75 (Violin and Harp transcription premiere) and its original version, the Trio in Four Movements for Two Violins and Viola Op. 75a B 149. The Chamber Music Survey is organized by violinist Laura Jean Goldberg. The concert was followed by a reception and viewing of the Dvořák Room exhibit “Superstars Together: Dvořák and the New York Philharmonic at 175,” curated by Majda Kallab Whitaker.

This event is now streaming on our YouTube Channel!
