The Belfiato Wind Quintet and Pavel Haas Quartet bring unique intensity to the East Neuk Festival's Czech night, quivering with intensity as they bring their homeland's music to life.

Pavel Haas Quartet makes a triumphant Singapore debut with all-Bohemian programme of Suk, Smetana and Janáček.

Haydn, Shostakovich and Smetana laid bare at Wigmore Hall. 

Jerusalem Quartet plays Beethoven, Toldrà and Smetana with the Stradivari of the Royal Palace of Madrid.

Jiří Bělohlávek, who was indisposed for his first scheduled Proms performance this year (in his final season as Chief Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra), was back on the podium to conduct a Slavic-themed programme on Wednesday night. There were many elements of the concert which I enjoyed, especially the grandiose and colourful arrangement of Smetana’s String Quartet no.

For the first of their pair of 25th Anniversary concerts at the Wigmore Hall, the Wihan Quartet chose a programme of three quartets from their native Czech, from Martinů, Dvořák and Smetana. You might have expected four musicians from Czech to have an affinity for this work, and you would not have been disappointed.

This was one of two concerts to celebrate the Wihan Quartet's 25th anniversary. Both were at London’s Wigmore Hall which has become the ideal venue for young and established groups on the International scene playing chamber music for all sorts of combinations.

Das Quartett brachte mit Smetana und Janáček zwei Werke seines Lieblingsrepertoires in die Elbphilharmonie.

Dernier concert d'une tournée capitale dans l'histoire du Quatuor Artemis, qui voit la moitié de son effectif se renouveler après trente ans de carrière.

Das Quartett präsentiert romantische Frühwerke von Webern und Schönberg und widmet sich dem tschechischen Nationalkomponisten Smetana.

Mit anspruchsvollen Interpretationen überzeugte das Arcanto Quartett das Münchner Publikum in der Allerheiligen Kirche - Beethoven, Schumann und Smetana von ihrer besten Seite.
