This year we celebrate Czech-inspired music with music by Dvorak, Brahms and other composers, performed by world-renowned but local favorites James Dick, Michelle Schumann and the Chiara String Quartet.

There will be a special Mother’s Day Concert at 3PM on Sunday, May 13 where James Dick and I perform music by Brahms.
