Once again three dates: the first performance of Beethoven’s F minor quartet and the re-ordering of Europe in 1814, echoes of Czech nationalism in Antonín Dvořák’s op. 106, and the moving music of Slavomír Hořínka inspiredby the Lampedusa refugee drama in 2013. This musical journey sketches Europe’s history from the discovery of cultural identity across the awakening of nationalist emotions all the way to the migration issues of the present day.
