A Musical Evening with Author Thomas Larson and Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings

Thomas Larson, author of The Memoir and the Memoirist, has engaged readers from coast to coast with his accounts of life viewed through his own personal lens. In his new book, The Saddest Music Ever Written: The Story of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, Larson weaves a moving narrative of his journey through life in a love affair with Barber's gorgeous Adagio. His tale and multi-media presentation is at once heartbreaking and beautiful, painful, and joyous - just like the Adagio itself. Chamber Music Connection will perform Barber's Adagio for Strings before the presentation. Presented in partnership with: Chamber Music Columbus, Chamber Music Connection, and WOSU Public Media.
