Dvorak: Concerto for Violoncello in B minor, Op. 104
As part of the OMF Martinů Celebration, this
program features the opening movement of the
Czech composer’s three-movement work, Toccata
e due canzone. The Toccata is dramatic --
a brilliant and compelling perpetuum mobile set
by an oscillating rhythm on the piano.
Polish composer Paweł Mykietyn’s commissioned
piece Concerto for Chamber Orchestra
receives its world premiere on this program -- an
event being looked toward with great anticipation.
The concerto is an intentionally virtuosic
work written for a small group of exceptional
players. The concert concludes with Dvorák’s
majestic and beautiful cello concerto.
