About the Program

This annual concert honors the legacy of Bessie and Hans Bechtler, parents of Bechtler Museum of Modern Art founder Andreas Bechtler, as patrons of both visual arts and music. Celebrating the lives of Bessie and Hans and their dedication to the arts, the Bechtler Ensemble—under the direction of their granddaughter Tanja Bechtler—will present a program featuring the music of Mozart and Dvořák.

 

The ensemble will perform the renowned Sinfonia Concertante, arranged for string sextet. This true Classical masterpiece, originally composed for solo viola and violin, is celebrated for its elegant interplay and melodic richness. Additionally, the concert will showcase Dvořák’s quintet, a superb example of the late Romantic period that skillfully blends his Slavic Czech roots with the Austro-German musical traditions. This memorable evening will reflect the Bechtler family’s passion for art and culture.

TICKETS: Concert tickets are $25 for members, $30 for nonmembers, and $5 for students (with proof of ID).

FREE tickets for ages 10 and under. Advance registration is required to guarantee seating.
