May Sunday Coffee Concert

About the show

Welcome to the 2026 season of Sunday Coffee Concerts at Spring Bank Arts. We’re delighted to welcome back many familiar faces and bring you a varied repertoire of concerts including some lesser-known works by English and Czech composers alongside the great Romantic composers Brahms and Dvo?ák.

In the final concert of the series on May 10th we feature works for piano trio by two great Czech composers, Martin? and Dvorák. The five Bergerettes by Martin? were composed while he was in the USA. They contain many quirky folk rhythms drawing on his Czech heritage interspersed with slower, melodic fragments. Dvorák’s famous trio opus 90 carries the subtitle “Dumky” which describes the style of all six of its movements, a dumka being a Slavic folk song marked by abrupt changes from melancholic to joyful. This is a wonderfully dramatic work full of sweeping melodies and catchy dance rhythms.
