“One of the greatest chamber string ensembles we have on the world stage” (Scherzo Magazine), the Takács Quartet visits with two riveting programs this season. This second concert features an epic work from Beethoven’s “heroic” middle period; Haydn’s effervescent, well-loved string quartet Op. 54, No. 2; and Britten’s rarely performed second quartet. In composing the work, Britten sought to embody the same qualities he revered in Purcell’s music: “clarity, brilliance, tenderness, and strangeness.”
Major support for this performance is provided by Taube Philanthropies.
This performance is made possible, in part, by Françoise Stone.

The Program Book will be available approximately one week before the performance.
