Returning to the Phillips are prominent musicians Josef Špaček and George Xiaoyuan Fu who bring an imaginative program born from the world of Czech painter and illustrator Alphonse Mucha, inspired by his friendship with composer Leoš Janáček. Mucha and Janáček met at the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul in Brno where Mucha was a choirboy and Janáček was the deputy choirmaster, and the two became lifelong friends. Špaček and Fu will perform Janacek's Violin Sonata, as well as music by Mucha's daughter-in-law Vítězslava Kaprálová, among selections by other Czech composers.
