Takács Quartet
with Jordan Bak, viola*
As it enters its 51st season, the renowned Takács Quartet continues to deepen its connections to timeless masterworks and enliven the string quartet repertoire through fresh artistic collaborations.
For its first concert this season, the group is joined by award-winning Jamaican American violist Jordan Bak in his Cal Performances debut for a rare performance of Mozart’s revelatory viola quintets in C major (K. 515) and G minor (K. 516). Bak adds his “haunting lyrical grace” (Gramophone) to the Takács’ telepathic ensemble blend in these works of exceptional melodic beauty and textural clarity. Schubert’s dramatic single-movement Quartettsatz opens the program.
