The Saturday night performance will broadcast on Classical KUSC on February 10, 2019.
Music director Carl St.Clair conducted with Soprano Michaela Vaughn.
Škroup/Kajetán Tyl: National Anthem of the Czech Republic "Kde domov můj" "Where is My Home?"
Smith/Scott Key: National Anthem of the United States "Star-Spangled Banner"
DVOŘÁK: Symphony No. 9 in E Minor“From the New World”
This was also celebrating the 100th anniversary of Czechoslovakia's independence.
The concert started off with the national anthem of both the Czech Republic and the USA. Ambassador Pavol Šepeľák from Czech gave a speech, and Dr. Hana Ayala gave a presentation of Pangea World. I learned that Czechoslovakia and USA had many ties since inception. Czechoslovakia became independent exactly 100 years ago, on October 28, 1918. Their constitution was published in Philadelphia, an their first president's wife was from Brooklyn, NY!
