Lecture and Recital: Czech organ music
"Czech This!" Organ music written by Czech composers is featured in a lecture and recital by organist Miriam Zach.
Performance: Iphigenia
In the Greek myth Iphigenia is the daughter of Agamemnon who is told by a goddess that he must sacrifice his daughter in order to be granted wind so that his ships can sail to Troy. Knowing that his wife would never agree, he tricks Iphigenia and her mother into coming to him by telling her that she is to marry the great hero, Achilles. This is a new telling of the old legend.
