Leamington Music Festival Weekend 2018 2 of 4

Today's Lunchtime Concert comes from the 2018 Leamington Music Festival Weekend. Czech Chamber music by Smetana and Reicha from the Prazak String Quartet and Ensemble 360.

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.
