[Publius]

It’s time for the Seattle Chamber Music Festival! We have a concert scheduled for Friday, July 19. Thanks to the miracle of the Internet, you can hear the concerts live at the website of KING-FM. I’ll be providing programs and links to the concerts throughout the summer festival. As we approach each concert, I’ll introduce one piece per evening at the Canteen with commentary about the piece. On concert nights, I’ll introduce the musicians.

Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959) was a Czech who settled in Paris like so many composers of the era. He was a follower of Stravinsky and prolific composer in all forms. When the Germans arrived in France in 1940 he fled to New York where he stayed for 15 years before settling in Switzerland.

One of his most successful students in America was songwriter Burt Bacharach.
