Czech Chamber Music Society ⬩ Elphier Quartett & Petr Popelka
This season’s Czech Chamber Music Society curator Petr Popelka dons another of his many musical hats for this programme: playing the double bass, the instrument with which he began his career. For his final curated concert this year, he joins the Elphier Quartett for Dvořák’s String Quintet No. 2. The rest of the programme is devoted to newer music including a work by Astor Piazzolla, the legendary king of tango.
