This year the traditional ‘festival overture’ called ‘On the Trail of Dvořák’ will take us northeast from Prague to the magnificent neo-Gothic chateau Sychrov (known e.g. from the Czech fairy-tale films Golden Hair and Immortal Aunt), which served as the residence of the originally-French noble Rohan family. Here, surrounded by the natural beauties of the ‘Bohemian Paradise’ region, lived Alois Göbl, perhaps Dvořák’s closest friend—secretary and from 1880 patronal commissioner of the Rohan princes. In the late nineteenth century, especially from 1877 to 1896, the composer visited Göbl here many times.

During his sojourns he not only played the organ (preserved to this day) in the chateau chapel, but composed industriously, for example creating the sketch of his Violin Concerto and working in various stages on major portions of his opera Dimitrij. In the nearby town of Turnov he also played piano in two important concerts of his works, including the world premiere of his lovely Piano Trio in G minor.
Those who accept our enticement to Sychrov on the last Sunday in August will have a rare opportunity to hear in the chateau chapel the four sacred songs with organ accompaniment that Dvořák composed and premiered right here.

Then while walking through the chateau park visitors can have a look at the former traveller’s inn where the Dvořák family was lodged during their visits; another authentic site is the building of today’s chateau restaurant, on whose upper floor was the flat of Alois Göbl where the composer also often stayed. We’ll finish our excursion on the trail of the most famous Czech composer with a concert in the ‘Chateau Gallery’ including the mentioned Piano Trio in G minor, the Finale from the Violin Concerto, and ravishing dramatic scenes from Dimitrij. As usual, the program will be accompanied by expert commentary from festival musicologist Dr. David Beveridge.
