Česká Noc (Czech Night)
offers you two of the finest ensembles from the Czech Republic. Musically,
we should perhaps say Moravian, Bohemian and Czechoslovakian Night, as
these lands have a complicated history of occupation and independence, and
the music on offer takes you from their days as part of the Hapsburg
Empire (when Suk’s Meditation was an act of musical rebellion) to the Nazi
occupation when a generation of fine musicians (including Haas) were among
the many murdered. For all its historical complexity, this music is
powerful, distinctive and resilient, and makes for an ebullient, rich and
joyful evening.
