"While the festival offers a broad variety of music, mostly classical but with some jazz thrown in for variety, a special spotlight in the 2004 programme is to be on Czech composers as well as current musical performers. The variety of Czech composers will be fully embraced at the music festival, with offerings of the works of such lesser-known composers as Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679–1745) and on through to Johann Baptist Vanhal (1739–1813) and Jan Václav Vorísek (1791–1825). In covering Czech contributions to the great classical period of the 19th century, the Schleswig-Holstein Festival also puts a strong spotlight on composers Bedrich Smetana (1824–1884) and Antonín Dvorák (1841–1904), on up to the early modernist works of Leos Janácek (1854–1928). The Czech programme is rounded out with performances of modern composer Jan Novák (1921–1984)." Much more information and dates are available at http://www.andante.com/article/article.cfm?id=24028
