8:00 Samuel Barber's Centenary

In celebration, the WFMT Radio Network and the Curtis Music Institute released this concert featuring the Curtis' contemporary music ensemble performing works by BARBER, including a fragment of his 1928 Violin Sonata, long believed lost. The recently discovered third movement is paired with two pieces it inspired: Curtis graduate Jonathan HOLLAND's Sonata Variation and student Chris ROGERSON's Lullaby: no bad dreams. The pieces were presented together to form a complete violin sonata created by three generations of composers nurtured at Curtis.
