Don’t miss the CMS Carolinas début of the nationally acclaimed period instrument ensemble Les Délices, performing an innovative and thoughtful program celebrating Bohemian composers from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Bohemian Rhapsody celebrates the music of Bohemian composers from the late 18th and early 19th centuries – a time when the Czech lands were provinces of the Habsburg Empire. Rarely-heard chamber music by Czech and Moravian composers Franz Krommer, Georg Druschetzky, and Katerina Victoria Dusikova-Cianchettin will illuminate a little-known history that explores underlying themes of separation, nostalgia, and homecoming. Also featured is a recently commissioned arrangement of Czech and Moravian folk songs by New York City-based composer and harpsichordist Nathan Mondry that asks, what might it have sounded like if these late-18th and early-19th century composers from the Czech lands had been able to more openly celebrate their heritage in their music? These fun and fascinating works for oboe, violin, viola, and cello are paired with Mozart’s sublime oboe quartet, KV370.
