American Chamber Music Society: ECHOES OF BOHEMIA

The American Chamber Music Society Presents:

ECHOES OF BOHEMIA

“Electric . . . [the] performance extracted all the tensions, fun, and charm that can be found”

~THIRD COAST REVIEW

ECHOES OF BOHEMIA is a rhapsodic evening exploring the folk spirit, emotional depth, and restless lyricism of three beloved composers: Dvorak, Janacek, and Smetana. By turns reflective and charged, this program brings Bohemia’s musical voice vividly to life in works for piano, violin, and cello. ACMS welcomes the poetic French cellist Juliette Herlin in her series debut, while critically acclaimed pianist Christopher Guzman returns for his second appearance. They’ll join Eric Gratz, ACMS Director and international prizewinning violinist.

ACMS performs all concerts at PianoForte, an intimate 75-seat concert hall with spectacular acoustics in downtown Chicago’s South Loop neighborhood. A reception and meet-and-greet with the performers will follow this 90-minute program.

Tickets are $25 GA/$10 students.

The American Chamber Music Society is deeply invested in inspiring and connecting with our local community. As one of the most intimate classical music experiences in Chicago, it is our honor to enrich our culture by performing repertoire ranging from centuries ago to the present, providing a variety of educational opportunities and offering tickets at a discounted price. There is nothing like sitting a few feet away from the best musicians in the world, especially when many of them are from your home town. I am confident the diverse and innovative programming of our events will leave you moved, exhilarated, and eager to return.
