Harmonies of the Heart is an enchanting biographical drama that delves into the life of Antonin Dvorak, a gifted Czech composer who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most celebrated musical figures of his time. The film follows Dvorak's journey as he finds inspiration in the Czech countryside, his encounters with influential musicians, and his profound impact on the world of classical music. After being invited to teach in the United States, Dvorak's time in America becomes a transformative chapter in his life, where he discovers new rhythms, melodies, and cultures, creating his iconic "New World" Symphony and also Cello Concerto. He became the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America in New York City. In the summer of 1893, Dvořák moved from New York City to Spillville, Iowa, following the advice of his secretary, J.J. Kovarík. He supported the concept that African-American and Native American music should be used as a foundation for the growth of American music. He felt that through the music of Native Americans and African-Americans, Americans would find their own national style of music. This movie showcases the unyielding passion and creativity of a man whose melodies still echo in the hearts of music lovers worldwide. During the last years of his life the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904) was considered by many throughout the Western world to be the greatest of all living composers.
