Step inside our intimate gallery for a vivid exploration of folk-inspired brilliance and radiant lyricism. This WCHOF Music Series performance celebrates the melodic charm of Antonín Dvořák, featuring his beloved Piano Quintet No. 2, Op. 81 as the program's vibrant anchor. Joined by Music Director Brian Woods (piano) and an ensemble of the region's finest performers, including Rebecca Chung (violin), Laura Reycraft (viola), and Davin Rubicz (cello), the recital highlights one of the Romantic repertoire's most joyful masterworks. This event transforms our world-class museum into a sanctuary of sound, where the complexity of the chessboard meets the architectural grandeur of classical music's finest masterpieces.
