More Information
Formed in Budapest in 1975, the world-renowned Takács Quartet has become an international favorite for its unique blend of drama, warmth, humor, and precision, bringing fresh insights to the string quartet repertoire.
For its Blacksburg debut, the esteemed quartet is joined by award-winning Jamaican-American violist Jordan Bak, winner of the Juilliard Concerto Competition, whose “haunting lyrical grace” (Gramophone) is blazing new trails in the music world.
The swoon-worthy program includes two of the most iconic and famous chamber works ever: two Mozart viola quintets alongside Schubert’s one-movement — and rarely heard — masterpiece, Quartettsatz.
This performance is supported in part by gifts from Minnis and Louise Ridenour and Dr. Rosemary Blieszner and Dr. Stephen P. Gerus. Additional funding is provided by the Deborah L. Brown Center for the Arts Excellence Fund and Intimate Voices.
This is the first performance at the center for the Takács Quartet and Bak.
This performance will last approximately two hours with one 15-minute intermission.*
