“There is no finer ensemble in the world, expressively and technically,” than the Takács Quartet (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). Formed in Budapest in 1975, this peerless ensemble returns to Philadelphia to perform a new work by Brazilian-American composer Clarice Assad, as well as Haydn’s charming Rider Quartet and Beethoven’s profound and groundbreaking Quartet in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131—which he considered his favorite achievement in the genre.
Haydn: Quartet in G Minor, Op. 74, No. 3, Rider
Assad: Quartet TBA Philadelphia Premiere
Beethoven: Quartet in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131
