The event, which bears the name of one of the greatest music composers, will showcase renowned soloists and some of the world's best orchestras and conductors during 7-23 September 2017. Apart from Antonín Dvořák's well- and lesser-known works, the festival will present the music of other composers from different eras. The event will feature star vocalists from the Metropolitan Opera and other prestigious establishments, such as Kristine Opolais, Piotr Beczala, René Pape, Michael Spyres, Adam Plachetka, and Jan Martiník. World-renowned orchestras performing at the festival will include the London Philharmonic Orchestra with chief conductor Vladimir Jurowski and the Essen Philharmonic with conductor Tomáš Netopil, who will also conduct the Vienna Symphony in the closing concert. An extraordinary experience will be a performance delivered by conductor Ingo Metzmacher and the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, which will feature French piano virtuoso Jean-Yves Thibaudet. The program will include the festival's orchestra in residence, the Czech Philharmonic with conductor Jiří Bělohlávek, the Prague Philharmonia (PKF), and such leading vocal ensembles as the Prague Philharmonic Choir and the Czech Philharmonic Choir of Brno.

A Pedagogical Analysis of Dvořák's Poetic Tone Pictures, Op. 85
A PEDAGOGICAL ANALYSIS OF DVOŘÁK’S POETIC TONE PICTURES, OP. 85 by Nathan MacAvoy Bachelor of Music Education Bob Jones University, 2014 Master of Piano Performance University of South Carolina, 2016 Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Pedagogy School of Music University of South Carolina 2020 Accepted by: Sara Ernst, Major Professor Scott Price, Committee Member Charles Fugo, Committee Member Daniel Jenkins, Committee Member Cheryl L. Addy, Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School © Copyright by Nathan MacAvoy, 2020 All Rights Reserved. ii DEDICATION This treatise is dedicated to my wife Martha. She consistently challenges me to do my best, innovate, and plan. Her support throughout my graduate degrees has been invaluable. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee for their investment in my education as a scholar, teacher, and musician. Dr. Jenkins’ classes challenged me not only to excel in music theory but also to use that knowledge for the benefit of others. Dr. Price served as my degree advisor and helped me improve my writing for many proposals. Weekly lessons with Dr. Fugo are already missed, but how I listen to, practice, and perform music has been transformed. I did not enjoy research until Dr. Ernst’s advanced research class. It prepared me to both finish and enjoy writing this treatise. I could not have begun this program without my previous instructors and mentors. Dr. Moore and Dr. Boerckel taught me throughout high school and my undergraduate degree. Their consistent investment prompted me to continue with a musical career. -

CUMULATIVE INDEX: SECTION (A): ARTICLES
CUMULATIVE INDEX to Czech Music and Other Society Journals: 1974-1994 Abstracted by Richard Beith Issue 2 July 1995 INTRODUCTION The Dvořák Society has always published a journal since the Society was founded in 1974. In the early years, the format and title changed frequently, but the name Czech Music has been used since 1978 and the familiar A5 format has been in use since 1980. Journal size has varied from the first issue, a single sheet of foolscap, printed on both sides, to the latest issue with 192 A5 size pages. Up until the Autumn 1987 issue, Czech Music also contained the “current information” listing concert dates, latest record news and forthcoming Society events. Since 1988 the entirely separate Newsletter has been published to cover such “current information”. Ephemeral items such as crosswords, concert announcements and new record issue news are omitted from the index, particularly such information appearing in the Journals prior to 1988, i.e. before the introduction of the separate Newsletter. The titles of articles, as printed, have occasionally been expanded by additional explanations in parenthesis. For example, “Music to Dismember” referring to cuts in live performances of Dvořák’s works now has the added comment: (Performance Cuts). Titles of musical works have generally been left in the language of the original articles, Czech, English or Slovak as appropriate. As the journals have not been given continuous pagination within one volume, i.e., as every separate issue starts with a page 1, a very full reference is given, egg: “March 74 1:1:1” = March 1974 issue, Volume 1, No 1, article starting on page 1; Summer 1993 18:1:87 = Summer 1993 issue, Volume 18, No 1, article starting on page 87.
