Dvořák was a master of combining folk elements of his Slovak homeland and finding inspiration from African-American music during his stay in the United States to create a truly unique voice that became a global sensation. Not too far away from the Czech republic, a young Anglo-African composer by the name of Samuel Coleridge Taylor was composing his first monumental work, the clarinet quintet in F# minor. His teachers had doubts that this young man would be able to escape the influence of Brahms who also wrote an extraordinary clarinet quintet but Coleridge-Taylor found his voice through inspiration from Dvořák to create a glorious piece of music that is not quite English, not quite American, and not quite African. When this piece was presented to his teacher Charles Villiars Stanford, he only response was “You’ve done it my boy!”

This remarkably unique quintet of Colerdige-Taylor will be performed along side Dvorak’s String Quartet no. 10 [occasionally called the Slavonic Quartet] to show how these two unique composers have a common thread shared between the two.
