There will not be an awards reception this year, but we will make the awards announcements online at a given time. The exhibit can be viewed during normal business hours.

Brevard Music School Keith’s Corner
Jul 31 all-day

Keith talks about his fondness for the music of Antonín Dvořák and about his relationship with the Czech Philharmonic. As he notes, Dvořák is as important and symbolic to the Czech Republic as Gershwin is to the United States. The central piece for discussion is Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World,” and the featured recording is of Václav Neumann conducting the Czech Philharmonic in a live performance from 1993.
