Talich Quartet

ABOUT THE CONCERT

Czech Chamber Music Society 

On 10 October 1894, the first concert of the Czech Chamber Music Society took place at the Rudolfinum. The Bohemian Quartet, of which Josef Suk was a member, played a programme of music by Smetana, Taneyev, and Dvořák. In this anniversary concert, the Talich Quartet will show how these composers’ music can still speak to audiences 130 years on. Joining them in his return to the Dvořák Hall is Lawrence Dutton, violist of the Emerson String Quartet.
