About This Performance

This concert is supported in part by Esta Schwartz, in memory of Dr. Elias Schwartz

“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: NEXUS  Philadelphia Premiere
Beethoven: Quartet in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131

Running time: 1 hour and 45 minutes (including intermission)
