Songs of Love and Longing

Witness amazing young talent reaching new heights of artistry. Duo of DACAMERA Young Artists —violinist Yu-Ming Ma and pianist Isaac Foreman— will present works by Czech composers in memory of the Lidice massacre. Jonathan Mak joins for Dvořák’s Sonatina in G Major.

The Nazi destruction of Lidice in 1942 —announced in grim headlines around the world—sparked a powerful global response from artists, writers, filmmakers, and workers. Though Lidice could have been lost amid the many atrocities of World War II, it instead became a lasting symbol of resistance.
