Advent Concert II • Janáček Trio

The Janáček Trio, mostly members of the Czech Philharmonic, gives frequent chamber concerts both at the Rudolfinum and elsewhere. For the second Sunday of Advent, these three superb musicians will present a programme of Romantic repertoire including chamber music by Antonín Dvořák, and there will be Christmas carols at the conclusion, of course.
