A special program fusing Antonin Dvorak musical gems, Czech and American poetry, and inspirational dance. Highlights include the seasoned ArtsAhimsa musicians – in their tenth anniversary presentation at Bohemian National Hall – and a reading of verses by Czech Nobel Prize Laureate Jaroslav Seifert, paired with nature-inspired musings by rising young poets from the Birch Wathen Lenox School in NYC. Vit Horejs, actor, will read Seifert’s verse, inspired by the drawings of Czech artist Mikoláš Aleš and first published in 1949.

Music will include Antonin Dvorak's "Dumky" Piano Trio – one of his most famous chamber music works – and selections from the Slavonic Dances opus 46. ArtsAhimsa artists include Laura Jean Goldberg, violin; Kate Dillingham, cello; Anna Royzman, Moshe Knoll, and Pablo Lavandera piano.

In a DAHA first, choreographer Pedro Ruiz presents a new dance, completing this creative rite of spring. Organized by Laura Jean Goldberg, violinist and DAHA music advisor. Dancers Elisa Toro and Leonel Linares.
