when barab was thirteen, he started his first musical job as an organist for a church of spiritual healing that his aunt attended. barab began to study the cello when he entered lane tech high school in chicago in 1935. lane tech offered a four-year music program and required each student to study an orchestral instrument. he later said of his choice: "they happened to need cellos. if they had needed a french horn player, i’d be a french horn player". barab also took lessons with the high school orchestra conductor. while at lane tech barab became friends with ben weber and george perle, both of whom would go on to become well known contemporary composers. together, in 1938, the three founded the new music group of chicago presenting contemporary 20th-century music. they programmed their own compositions in addition to works by other contemporary composers. most notably, they gave the chicago premier of béla bartóks first string quartet. barab became a lifelong champion of contemporary music. barab later said of weber and perle: "i learned from them. i learned all about music, really. it gave me something to be dedicated to, unplayed music by talented composers. of course we were all very young then. i just decided that this was what i wanted to do, rather than play the concerto repertoire and the sonata repertoire."
