Alexander String Quartet Celebrates George Walker @ Baruch PAC

From November 16 (9AM EST) to November 29 (9PM EST), Baruch PAC presents the Alexander String Quartet performing a program that features American composer George Walker’s String Quartet No. 1 (the second movement of which was the basis for his prize-winning Lyric for Strings). Walker, the first Black composer to win the Pulitzer Prize in Music, wrote this work in response to the death of his grandmother. Its theme echoes the “Heiliger Dankgesang” (Holy Song of Thanksgiving) from Beethoven’s monumental String Quartet Op. 132, which ASQ also performs on this program.

The show will premiere online on November 16 at 9 am EST, and will be available through November 29 at 9 pm EST. Registration is required and admission is pay-what-you-can. Access to this online performance is available via Baruch PAC’s website.
