You may be reminded that Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings was drawn from his string quartet (the only one he ever wrote, unless you count Dover Beach, for string quartet and baritone). At the Curtis Institute, Walker studied composition with Rosario Scalero, who had been Barber's teacher as well. The powerful program will include Samuel Barber’s Dover Beach, Respighi’s Il Tramonto, and Dvorak’s Viola Quintet in E flat Major.
