The Lost Chord: June 9 - Erben Legends

spectre_bride_2.jpg

Karel Jaromir Erben (1811-1870) served as a kind of Brothers Grimm to the Czech people.  Erben synthesized works based on traditional and folkloric themes into gruesome ballads full of witches, goblins, and ghosts.  Antonín Dvořák wrote a surprising number of works inspired by Erben’s gruesome tales.  Tune in for body parts galore in “The Golden Spinning Wheel” and the spine-tingling graveyard finale from “The Spectre’s Bride,” this Sunday at 10 pm.
