The Dvořák American Heritage Association Presents: Castleman & Ševčík | The Art of the Violin

Step behind the curtain of virtuosity with Groupmuse Nights Out, offering discounted tickets to Castleman & Ševčík: The Art of the Violin at Bohemian National Hall on Sunday, April 19 at 4:00 PM. This one-of-a-kind event celebrates legendary violinist and pedagogue Charles Castleman, a living link to the great Czech master Otakar Ševčík, whose revolutionary teaching methods continue to shape string players around the world. Blending performance, storytelling, and live demonstration, the program invites audiences into the inner workings of violin technique—revealing how generations of artists have honed both precision and expressive power.

From the beloved lyricism of Dvořák’s Humoresque to the fiery brilliance of Ysaÿe’s Sonata No. 2 and the rich textures of Mendelssohn’s Viola Quintet, the concert weaves together masterworks with rare historical recordings and even a live onstage violin lesson. With Groupmuse Nights Out discounted tickets, this is more than a concert—it’s an immersive journey into the artistry, lineage, and living tradition of violin playing, where past and present meet in a vivid, unforgettable experience. 🎻✨
