Takács Quartet

Sold out. To join the waitlist, contact the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society at boxoffice@pcmsconcerts.org or 215-569-8080. “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.
