Bennewitz Quartet with Arsentiy Kharitonov
Jakub Fišer and Štěpán Ježek, violins
Jiří Pinkas, viola
Štěpán Doležal, cello
Arsentiy Kharitonov, piano
One of the great Czech ensembles of our time, the Bennewitz Quartet will perform a concert full of melodies new, remembered, and forgotten. Their tour-de-force program was developed with the Library and their collaborator, pianist Arsentiy Kharitonov. It includes the Library of Congress premiere of Nikolai Medtner’s piano quintet, the manuscript of which is now held in the Music Division’s collections, introduced by one of Medtner’s sumptuous “forgotten melodies.” The Bennewitz will then offer a quartet by Antonín Dvořák’s son-in-law, Josef Suk, before ending the evening with Kharitonov returning for Dvořák’s beloved op. 81 piano quintet.
