The inspiration for this year’s Islington Festival of Music and Art is the Homeland, what it means, how it is celebrated. Looking through composers’ relationships with their roots, how they take inspiration from them, either by going straight to the source, or by nostalgically diving in to their distant but strong memories.
An obvious place to start was Czech composers, so we have a little “Czech Sandwich” in store for you, starting and finishing the festival with two programmes entirely of Czech music –we also celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Smetana, opening the festival with his “From the Homeland”.
BEDŘICH SMETANA – Z domoviny/From the Homeland
BOHUSLAV MARTINU – Piano Trio no. 2 in d
ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK – Piano Trio in f, opus 65
Joana Ly – violin
Miguel Ángel Villeda Cerón – cello
Martin André – piano
