This concert begins with the foot-stomping dance rhythms and flowing melodies of full-blooded Czech and Hungarian music by composers Smetana, Janacek and Kodaly. Then the season finale is celebrated with a World Premiere – Chris Brubeck’s Double Concerto for Violin and Cello, co-commissioned by Classical Tahoe expressly for the guest artists Jaime Laredo, violin and Sharon Robinson, cello.
