which Dr. David Dalton spoke about the quest to find and acquire the portrait. He was assisted through photographs by his longtime friend and fellow Primrose student, Dr. Dwight Pounds, who also had the opportunity to speak briefly. Annisija Wallin Hunter reflects on her time spent at PIVA Graduating viola student Annisija Wallin Hunter spoke about benefits that she gained from studying and working with the resources that are available in the Primrose International Viola Archive. She said: PIVA is so much more than simply a pile of resources. The room itself has a special feeling about it—a unique ambiance that’s difficult to describe or explain. I think it has something to do with all of the remarkable people who have visited or spent time in the room: Emanuel Vardi, Hellen Callus, Roberto Díaz, and others. Perhaps it’s the photographs and portraits that look down from the walls. Some might find it unnerving to be constantly watched by these musicians, but I love them. They inspire me. I feel energized as I study and work under their gaze. These are fellow musicians; people I admire who understand and appreciate the time I spend in PIVA. I’m sure the magnificent painting of Primrose himself will only add to the inspiring, almost sacred feeling of the room. From left to right: Hilary Dalton Zander and Donna Dalton unveil Primrose’s portrait Dr. Dalton’s wife, Donna, and daughter, Hilary Dalton Zander, unveiled the portrait, and then the audience was treated to beautiful viola music provided by Dr. Claudine Bigelow, Head of Viola Studies at BYU, and her recently graduated student Bryan Lew, who will be continuing his studies at Indiana University with Atar Arad in the fall. They performed excerpts from Béla Bartók’s 44 Duos, transcribed by William Primrose. While listening to the music, audience members enjoyed looking at the new portrait, hung in its place of honor, as well as other paintings and photographs in the Primrose Archive.
