Getting exciting about our Sunday concert? Violinist Charles Castleman is a true legend! Watch this sensitive portrait (also showing 10yr old Charles performing "Ukrainian Fantasy" on Frank Sinatra Show🥰) that explores his deep connection with the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel – a place of transmission and musical excellence. More than sixty years after competing in the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition, Charles is donating his 1707 Stradivarius to the Music Chapel.

Otakar Ševčík (1852-1934), renowned to this day as a violinist and teacher, famously created his School of Violin Technique and Analytical Studies & Exercises, a method allowing string players to reach their potential in technical proficiency. Ševčík's teaching assistant, Emanuel Ondříček, was Charles Castleman's teacher when he was a young violinist. Castleman currently shares Ševčík's wealth of knowledge with his many students and thus carries the expressive and technical traditions of the Bohemian School of Violin Playing into the 21st century. Join us next Sunday to explore more and enjoy the art of the violin: https://bit.ly/4e8irzc

Next Sunday we'll celeberate virtuoso violinist and teacher Charles Castleman, perhaps the world’s most active performer/pedagogue on the violin. He has been soloist with the orchestras of Philadelphia, Boston, Brisbane, Chicago, Hong Kong (and many more), and we very much look forward to welcoming him on our stage! Mr Castleman plays the “Marquis de Champeaux” Stradivarius from 1708, and chooses from 80 bows.

Thank you all for joining us at our Gala Concert! 👏 Over 130 guests gathered to celebrate the life, artistry, and rich legacy of the preeminent Czech American pianist Rudolf Firkušný. The internationally acclaimed pianist Yefim Bronfman brilliantly performed works by Brahms and Prokofiev, inaugurating the magnificent Steinway piano recently acquired by Bohemian Benevolent & Literary Association. In attendance were the families of Rudolf Firkušný and Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, who had supported the young pianist with a stipend in 1920s Czechoslovakia.
