Join in celebrating the renewal of nature in spring as well as the promise of young, new musical talent during this Year of Czech Music 2024.

The musicians in this concert comprise talented young students from The Juilliard School in the Pre-College Division as well as seasoned New York players.

The Year of Czech Music is a celebration held once a decade on every year that ends on the number four, a number that marks many Czech music anniversaries. This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Bedřich Smetana, known as the “father of Czech music.” It is also the 150th anniversary of the birth of Czech composer and violinist Josef Suk, who studied under Antonín Dvořák and married his daughter, and the 120th anniversary of Dvořák’s death.
