A meeting of Czech musicians and the Dutch pioneer of unjustly forgotten music of the first half of the 20th century. The BERG Orchestra and Kalabis Quintet will perform a variety of concert compositions by E. F. Burian under the direction of conductor Werner Herbers. Their connection is not coincidental – it was Herbers and his Ebony Band (NL) who brought this lesser known part of Burian's work back to attention. The impulse to discover Czech music again came from abroad. It's surprising, or is it?
