Leamington Music Festival Weekend 2018 1of 4

Today's Lunchtime Concert comes from the Leamington Music Festival. Chamber music by Suk, Martinu and Smetana from the Prazak String Quartet, Ensemble 360 and Guarneri Piano Trio.

The 2018 Leamington Music Festival Weekend marks the centenary of the founding of Czechoslovakia which happened two weeks before the Armistice of 11 November. The concerts all feature music by Czech composers from Bed艡ich Smetana, the father of the national school, to Erwin Schulhoff, who fought in the Great War only to be killed in the second World War in a concentration camp.

Today's programme features three internationally renowned ensembles - the Prazak String Quartet, Ensemble 360 and the Guarneri Piano Trio performing Josek Suk's meditation for string quartet based on an old Czech hymn, Bohislav Martin暖's sextet for winds and Smetana's piano trio.
