DVOŘÁK: THE CHAMBER MUSIC SURVEY
DAHA’s concert of Sunday, September 24th ended with a standing ovation for the superb New York Philharmonic musicians and friends. It was the second annual concert in DAHA’s multi-year survey of Dvořák’s complete chamber works. The unprecedented marathon presents the composer’s chamber music masterpieces as well his lesser known gems. This year’s concert paired Dvořák’s Piano Quintet in A, Opus 81 with his Second String Quartet of 1862. The rarely heard early work illustrated the mindset of the young composer, the starting point from which Dvořák developed his distinctive and well-known compositional style. In the universally cherished Piano Quintet of 1887, the audience enjoyed the soulful melodies and lively Slavonic dance rhythms that have made Dvořák world famous. The event, organized by violinist Laura Jean Goldberg of DAHA, was followed by a reception to meet the musicians and Dvořák Room viewing.
