Martinu’s La Revue de Cuisine brings theatrical flair and rhythmic energy to the stage, while Reger’s Lyric Andante offers warmth and reflection. The program concludes with Zich’s richly textured Nonet (Czech Suite), blending folk-inspired colour with intricate ensemble writing in a celebration of musical imagination and collaboration.
