About The Event

Three memorial works: Barber's String Quartet includes his Adagio for Strings which has brought a cathartic calm in times of grief and mourning. • George Crumb's revolutionary work Black Angels is a threnody (ode or lament) for the Vietnam War and “a kind of parable on our troubled contemporary world” (Crumb 1971). • Shostakovich's Op.68 is his first great string quartet. It is vividly original in style, bold in design, and individual in character. It was dedicated as a memorial to a fellow composer.
