Czech Chamber Music Society • Javier Arrey

Although our society has the word “Czech” in its name, some of this season’s themes are drawn from across the ocean. Several of the concerts will have a Latin American flavour, and the first ambassador of that culture will be the Chilean singer Javier Arrey, a frequent guest at Vienna’s Staatsoper and at the Met in New York. Besides European classics, the programming will feature, for example, the music of the Chilean composer Pedro Humberto Allende.
