Cafe Ludwig: Czech Mate

Charming piano sensation and host Orli Shaham leads Pacific Symphony's principal musicians in an afternoon of chamber music and treats. Janacek wrote “Pohádka” in his early 60s, beginning a period of renewed productivity that resulted in several masterpieces. Martinu also wrote a number of exquisite pieces, among them “Three Madrigals.” Dvorak, renowned for his symphonies and concertos, also wrote delightful chamber music and was surely an inspiration to his countrymen.
