Left Bank Quartet: Dvořák in Search of America

Produced by UMD faculty artist David Salness in association with PostClassical Ensemble, this concert includes readings from Longfellow’s The Song of Hiawatha and Dvořák’s personal letters from Iowa.

Together, these documents illustrate how Dvořák’s Sonatina incorporates a portrait of Hiawatha’s wife Minnehaha and how his American String Quartet is an elegiac evocation of the Iowa prairie. Joseph Horowitz will provide commentary.
