TICKETS + INFORMATION

The first string quartet by George Walker, who continued the Mid-Century (20th duh) American mainstream tradition into this Century with great distinction and wrote music that deserves to be widely heard for its inherent quality as well as its accessibility. (Like Barber’s String Quartet, Walker’s first contains a movement that became the composer’s best-known piece when it was extracted from the quartet and blown up for string orchestra.) Webern’s late String Quartet, which sparkles like China and shines like Japan. And Brahms.
