Wrapping up this year’s Czech Celebration at the Colburn School, Maestro James Conlon will conduct Music Restored: Exploring Czech Masterworks, a performance by the Music Restored Ensemble on Saturday, March 7 at 7 pm in Zipper Hall.
Prior to the concert, Conlon will be joined by Michael Beckerman, recently appointed Dean of the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music who has been recognized for his scholarship on Czech and Eastern European music, and Music Restored Program Director Adam Millstein, for a pre-concert discussion about the evening’s featured composers.
The musical selection for the event has been characterized as a love letter to Bohemian melodies. It begins with Dvořák’s Nocturne in B Major, followed by another intriguing work by Vítězslava Kaprálová. The evening concludes with an orchestral tour de force by Bohuslav Martinů.
