Classically Speaking


You don't have to wait until summer for free music!

This Friday at 7:30PM, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery will be showcasing the music of Antonin Dvorak and how he was influenced by American painters of his time.  There will be a "mini-lecture", followed by a visual interpretation of Dvorak's New World Symphony.  Concluding the event will be performances of Dvorak's "American" String Quartet and a section from his Violin Sonata.  These pieces will be performed by a string quartet consisting of Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra musicians.

The temperature range for Friday is between 33-53 degrees... I can't think of much better than free art and music if the weather ends up being closer to the lower end of the spectrum.  Take a listen below, you may hear some familiar themes in the "American" Suite.
