Known as today’s foremost Czech chamber ensemble, the Smetana Trio appears as part of the 92Y Concerts at SubCulture series for an evening of Czech music which includes the New York premiere of Roman Haas’s Multicultural Suite for Piano Trio. Following a successful North American tour in April 2013, the Trio returns to the United States with concerts in New York City, San Diego, Irvine, CA, Eau Claire, WI and Gettysburg, PA. The Smetana Trio’s 2014 tour is supported by the Czech Center New York where Hanna Arie-Gaifman, Director of 92Y’s Tisch Center for the Arts, moderates a conversation with the Trio on October 20, 2014. 
Thriving in a sustained career as conductor, soloist and chamber musician for over 70 years, legendary pianist Leon Fleisher’s musical pedigree is remarkable. His son Julian Fleisher, named “the human iPod” by The Baltimore Sun, joins him in the Weill Art Gallery October 26, December 14 and February 8 discussing Fleisher’s life and career through the lens of music. The series, entitled Living Through Music, begins with the topic of Brahms in conjunction with the Jerusalem Quartet’s series on Brahms’ chamber music. Future conversations include discussions on contemporary music (December 14) and Schubert (February 8).
