Celebrating the colorful musical tapestry of the United States, as told through three great compositions, the Calidore String Quartet will display the energy and style that has earned it a position on the world stage. Korngold, best known for film scores, demonstrates his serious talent in composition. Dvořák’s three-year stay in America left him imbued with the sounds of America, inspiring this most-loved composition written during a summer in Iowa and Barber contributed what is considered the unofficial American anthem of mourning, the Adagio for Strings.
