Washington Musica Viva

The six member American band Washington Musica Viva performed a vivacious concert of music by Czech jazz composer Jaroslav Ježek, as arranged by contemporary composer Charley Gerard in a program titled "Ježek in America", at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage on September 5. Jaroslav Ježek was fascinated by American jazz and Washington Musica Viva, inspired in turn by his work, embodies the spirit of the Mutual Inspirations Festival, the celebration of Czech-American mutual cultural influences.
