Recovered Voices: Adam Millstein, Violin and Dominic Cheli, Piano

Violinist Adam Millstein and pianist Dominic Cheli performs works by innovative Czech composers who profoundly impacted the trajectory of 20th-century music. Works by Janáček and Martinů appear alongside two lesser-known composers: Vítĕzslava Kaprálová, who was on the threshold of a successful international career as a composer and conductor when she died in exile in France at the age of twenty–five, and Erwin Schulhoff, a prolific and multi-faceted creative figure who was the subject of the Colburn-produced online series Schulhoff and More.

Presented as part of The Ziering-Conlon Initiative for Recovered Voices, which encourages greater awareness and more frequent performances of music by composers whose careers and lives were tragically cut short by the Nazi regime.
