Walker Lyric for Strings
Barber Violin Concerto
Dvořák Symphony No. 8

Lyric for Strings, a gorgeous musical lament that opens the program, is both sorrow and balm. On a lighter note, the Symphony No. 8 finds Dvořák in a cheerful mood, inspired by his beloved Bohemian folk music with its hallmarks of simplicity, clarity, and brightly embroidered patterns.
