PSQ performing Barber

In December, the PSQ performed Samuel Barber's String Quartet, Opus 11 at Brown University's Cogut Center for the Humanities. The performance included the Quartet's final movement (featured in video below) that Barber retracted shortly after the premiere in 1936. For this performance, the PSQ used copies of the composer's original score with special permission of G. Schirmer, Inc. and the Curtis Institute of Music. Our thanks go to Jesse for creating this opportunity through his connection to Samuel Barber scholar Barbara Heyman. Learn more here and here.
