74th Annual Dvořákova Nelahozeves Festival
As every year, the town of Nelahozeves — birthplace of Antonín Dvořák — will honor the life and work of this great composer.
This year also marks the anniversary of the birth of Czech-Austrian music critic Eduard Hanslick, whose support helped Dvořák gain recognition. Hanslick’s opinions mattered so much to Dvořák that he often revised his compositions based on his critiques.
Festival visitors can look forward to two concerts — one at the Antonín Dvořák Birth Houseand one at Nelahozeves Castle — along with a talk exploring Hanslick’s influence on Dvořák’s music and life.
