The concert "From Austria to a New World" featuring works for flute and string trio, is a musical journey across countries and centuries. The programme includes renowned works, such as the overture to Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute" transcribed for flute, violin, viola and cello, as well as A. Dvorak's "American" quartet, transcribed for the same ensemble by the famous flutist Emmanuel Pahud. Alongside, less known works are presented, such as Hoffmeister's flute quartet in C minor and the Hungarian composer's Léo Weiner's quartet for flute in C minor.
