Music Restored: Adam Millstein, Violin and Dominic Cheli, Piano

Violinist Adam Millstein and pianist Dominic Cheli perform works by innovative Czech composers who profoundly impacted the trajectory of 20th-century music. Works by Smetana 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.

Runtime: approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes including intermission

Presented as part of Music Restored: The Ziering-Conlon Center for Exiled and Suppressed Composers, which encourages greater awareness and more frequent performances of music by composers whose careers and lives were tragically cut short by the Nazi regime. Music Restored is made possible through the generous support of Marilyn Ziering and the Emma and Adam Zhu Foundation, alongside the many donors who are inspired by this important work.

This concert is made possible by Erica Clark in recognition of the extraordinary Music Restored initiative and the equally extraordinary virtuosity of the musicians, Adam Millstein and Dominic Cheli.
