Event Description
Celebrating Together GVYO with the Victoria Chamber Orchestra & Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra SMETANA Má Vlast (My Homeland) Bedřich Smetana created the very definition of Czech music with his iconic work Má Vlast, a cycle of six symphonic poems that capture the love and pride he felt for his homeland. Smetana began work on the composition in September 1874; by October, he was completely deaf, but he defied this condition and went on to complete the work by 1879. He was unable to hear its first performance, or its exultant reception.
