Why are some composers in classical music over-famous, and have you never heard of some? Why are Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn among the iconic composers of our past, but others -often totally forgotten- are not?

In this program with conductor Vaclav Luks and pianist Olga Pashchenko, the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century breaks a lance for two Czech composers from the time of Mozart. Dùsik and Vanhal were celebrated and acclaimed in their own time, but did not stand the test of time for the larger audience. In this concert, the orchestra shows how unjustified that is.

This tour is a diptych with Mozart in Paris, which raises the same questions for the composer Joseph Boulogne Chevalier de St George, who until recently had also actually completely disappeared from the canon.
