Very Czech. And not just the orchestra, which is largely (if not exclusively) made up of Czech musicians, but also the music. Lots of Czech music! The sunny, nature-infused Eighth Symphony by Dvořák and his wistful Romance for violin. And a rarely performed overture by Bohuslav Martinů. In addition, Timothy Chooi solos in one of the most beloved violin concertos of all time: Max Bruch’s First Violin Concerto. So, the brilliant Chooi will be heard twice today, before and after the break—exciting to compare his playing in Dvořák’s Romance and Bruch’s Violin Concerto.
The Canadian-American Timothy Chooi is praised for his virtuosity and emotional depth. His resume includes the first prize at the International Joseph Joachim Violin Competition and the Yves Paternot Prize at the Verbier Festival. In 2019, he also won second prize at one of the toughest competitions in the world: the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. Dvořák wrote his Eighth Symphony as a very spontaneous, friendly, and absolutely cheerful work. He completed it in the autumn of 1889 at his estate in Vysoká, Bohemia; “My head is full of ideas,” said the composing Dvořák, who drew much of his inspiration from the nature around him.
