TAKÁCS QUARTET

The 2009-2010 series includes a bonus performance by the Takács' special invited guests, the Escher String Quartet. The Escher String Quartet has received acclaim for its individual sound, inspired artistic decisions and unique cohesiveness. The Quartet has performed at prestigious venues and festivals including Lincoln Center, the 92nd Street Y, the Ravinia and Caramoor Festivals, and Music@Menlo; and has collaborated with artists such as Leon Fleisher, Jeffrey Kahane, and Pinchas Zukerman. The Escher String Quartet takes its name from Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher and is inspired by Escher’s method of interplay between individual components working together to form a whole.
