World-class Czech Violinists Perform in Orinda

The Orinda/Tabor Sister City Foundation, Sokol SF and Bay Czech presented on Oct. 27 the Concert for 8 Strings in Orinda. The concert was performed by the outstanding Czech violinists Jaroslav Sveceny and his daughter Julie Svecen�. Mr. Sveceny is one of the most notable contemporary Czech violinists. His daughter Julie, born in 1994, has performed on many occasions in the U.S., Great Britain, where she is currently taking advanced studies at the Royal Academy of Music, and in almost all European countries - and now finally in Orinda.

In the Concert for 8 Strings they perfectly executed duets, including pieces from Mozart, Luigi Boccherini, George Telemann and others. The concert was concluded with the overture from "Le nozze di Figaro," ("The Marriage of Figaro,") where Jaroslav and Julie Svecenys sounded like a full orchestra, for which the overture was originally composed.

The audience was captivated by the performance of the father/daughter team, and it won't be the first such activity in the coming year. The Orinda/Tabor Sister City Foundation announced that 2017 is the "Year of the Czech," in Orinda, and one of the activities will be a celebration of Czech heritage and culture in Orinda Community Park from Sept., 29 through Oct. 1, 2017.
