The Conversation at 6 pm features prominent musicians associated with Samuel Barber, Dolce Suono musicians, and composer Benjamin C.S. Boyle. The concert at 7:30 pm includes Barber's Dover Beach, String Quartet, Songs, Canzone, and works by Bernstein, Foss, Carter, and a world premiere by Benjamin C.S. Boyle. Dolce Suono ensemble musicians will perform: Randall Scarlata, baritone; Mimi Stillman, flute; Charles Abramovic, piano; Hirono Oka and Igor Szwec, violins; Burchard Tang, viola; Yumi Kendall, cello.
