String Quartets by Dvořák, Martinů, and Kaprálová

After a long break, the Pavel Haas Quartet returns to the Pierre Boulez Hall with a program entirely dedicated to the music of its Czech homeland.



In addition to Dvořák's String Quartet Opus 105, the ensemble will perform Bohuslav Martinů's Fifth Quartet, which one of his biographers has hailed as "the most important Czech string quartet of the 20th century."

The evening opens with a work by Vítězslava Kaprálová, a highly talented composition student of Martinů's, whose music he significantly promoted after her early death at the age of just 25.


PROGRAM

  • Vítězslava Kaprálová - String Quartet Op. 8
  • Bohuslav Martinů - String Quartet No. 5
  • Antonín Dvořák - String Quartet in A-flat major Op. 105
