This performance of Bohemian Café was made possible with funding from the Stewart W. and Willma C. Hoyt Foundation

Not all who wander are lost. Some are simply reaching new, convergent musical frontiers! As Chicagoan Stacy Garrop’s Bohemian Café recounts the whimsy of Czech street music, Bohemian native Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony evokes America’s diverse heritage. Add in a sprawling journey to Rachmaninoff’s audacious, expansive Second Piano Concerto, and you get an unexplored new world of creative genius...equally boundless and beauteous!
