Bard Music Festival returns with an intensive two-week exploration of Martinů and His World. In eleven themed concerts featuring its boldest and most adventurous programming to date, the festival’s 35th season examines the life and times of Bohuslav Martinů (1890–1959), the 20th century’s foremost Czech composer, whose music is nonetheless largely unfamiliar to U.S. audiences today. Weekend One: A Musical Mirror of the 20th Century, August 8–10. Weekend Two: Against Uncertainty, Uniformity, Mechanization: Music in the Mid-20th Century, August 14–17.
