A Step to Happiness: Frank, Brahms, Dvořák

August 27, 6 pm, Lviv National Philharmonic (Tchaikovsky St., 7).

A special project that was created as a part of the LvivMozArt festival by the VERE MUSIC FUND. You will listen to the romantic chamber’s music program, performed by the most talented young musicians of the country. The second half of the 19th century gave a new understanding of the aesthetics of late Romanticism and endowed chamber music with a special meaning. Without exaggeration, the pieces that will be performed in the concert have played a symbolic role in the composers’ work: Cesar Frank, Johannes Brahms and Antonin Dvořák.
