Composers Leoš Janáček and Charles Ives were mavericks that drew inspiration from their homelands to create highly original musical styles. Janácek transformed folk music of his native Moravia into a distinct poetic narrative, and Ives used popular American melodies to create unique, multi-layered soundscapes.

This program features Janácek’s Fairy Tale for cello and piano, his piano sonata “1. X 1905,” and a selection of songs by Ives.

BAC Salon: The Originals is a series of music by composers with uncompromising visions, performed by some of today's most respected musicians in an intimate salon setting.
