The KUAF/Fulbright Summer Chamber Music Festival will open its fifth season with a special concert in the Great Hall at Crystal Bridges. The program will consist of works written by composers of the Americas, or by composers influenced by American music or culture, and will feature the "American" String Quartet by Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904), the Czech composer who wrote the quartet while he was director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York City. This famous quartet is full of beautiful American-influenced melodies. Other composers whose music will be heard include Samuel Barber and Alberto Ginastera. The concert will be followed by a reception.
