The Avalon Quartet
In
collaboration with the National Czech & Slovak Museum and Library.
Celebrating Dvorak in Iowa with the old and the new! We have heard the
beloved bit of Iowa history that tells us how the world-famous Czech composer
Antonin Dvorak came to Iowa to live and work for three months in the summer
of 1893. The Avalon Quartet will play Dvorak’s American Quartet
–written when he was in Iowa. So what’s new? Renowned composer,
Harvey Sollberger, has recently retired to his Iowa roots and has focused
the attention of his compositional genius on his native state. Sollberger
took a 21st century look at Dvorak’s famous Quartet and composed
an extended work for flute, viola and guitar. Titled Spillville, this
trio is inspired by Dvorak’s quartet and features Avalon violist
Tony Devroye performing with Jan Boland (flute) and John Dowdall (guitar).
The Avalon Quartet is sponsored by Margaret Haupt.
Tickets
are $15 in advance or $18 at the door. Thirty and under $10. Call 319/377-8061or
purchase tickets at the First Presb. Church office.

Kaspar
Kummer is back. This 19th-century composer is so obscure, he is missing
from even the most detailed music history books. But Red Cedar loves his
chamber music & we’re determined to give him a come-back! We
find his music charming and have invited our favorite period players to
join us.
Tickets
$15 in advance or $18 at the door. Thirty and under $10. Call 377-8061.
Loretta O'Sullivan is sponsored by Thea Leslie.
