'57 series of the Greensboro Cham-ber
Music Society will be the ap-pearance
of the smetana Quartet
on March 8 at 8:00 p. m. in the

The Smelana Quartet furnishes
an excellent example of the deep-seated
musical tradition of Czech-oslovakia
with its chamber music,
which grew out of the elthustasm
and devotion of a group of Prague

mastery that. In Its first public
appearance in 1945.. the press
spontaneously recognized them as
the heirs to the famous Bohemian
Quartet
It Is a long-followed policy of
the Quartet to memorize its entire

demands which this tradi-tion
makes, the Quartet devotes
approximately six month* a year
to tour abroad, three months
to concerts in Chechoslovakia, and
the remaining three months In
Intensive practice and some relax-ation.
In 1951. the Chechoslavaklan
government ensured the Smetana
Quartets economic status by affil-iating
them as a chamber ensem-jble
to the Czech Philharmonic
Orchestra, and In 1954. they were
j awarded the honorary title of
i "Laureate of the State Prize." To-day,
the Smetana Quartet ranks
among the best Europeon chamber
music ensembles, anu their tours
have been extended to all conti-nents.
Their Interpretations of
Czech composers. Including Dvo-rak
and Janacek. are being rec-ognized
everywhere as definitive.
Mozart. Beelhoven. Haydn. Schu-i

their repertoire, which, in Its wide
