The United States has been greatly enriched from the influences of its many distinguished visitors. In a program celebrating America’s musical diversity, we will enjoy the sublime music of Dvořák twice, once through his “American” voice in the Sonatina, composed in Spillville, Iowa, and his quintessentially Czech mode with his iconic Piano Quintet. In between, the stage is shared by the Belgians and English, as we hear the touching “Child’s Dream” by Eugène Ysaÿe, and the stunning Piano Quintet by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
