Journey into the vibrant musical world of late 18th-century Vienna as we explore the works of the many Bohemian composers who lived and worked there, and the lasting imprint they left on the city’s musical life.
Presented by guest expert Genevieve Lang and with performances by the renowned AHE Quartet, this captivating event traces the influence of the celebrated Bohemian patron of Haydn and Beethoven, Prince Lobkowicz.
Through live performances of excerpts by Haydn, Beethoven, and lesser-known Bohemian masters such as Wranitzky, Mysliveček, and more, this hour-long program offers a rare chance to experience the music of the era up close.
