Takács Quartet

Click here to purchase ticketsWidely acclaimed the leading string ensemble of our time, no other group of musicians command the scope of quartet literature at the level of the Takács Quartet. Violinists Edward Dusinberre and Károly Schranz, violist Geraldine Walther, and cellist András Fejér share a unique capacity to discern each composer’s particular intent with complete understanding. Shostakovich’s richly textured Quartet No. 3 and Haydn’s expressive Quartet in C major, with its symphonic reach, showcase the musicians’ virtuosity. “This is chamber music playing of overwhelming intensity…simply the best I have ever heard in concert” (The Guardian, London).

Program: Haydn / String Quartet in C major, Op. 74, No. 1; Shostakovich / String Quartet No. 3 in F major, Op. 73; Dvořák / String Quartet No. 14 in A-flat major, Op. 105, B. 193
