After
more than 31 years of extensive touring and recording, the Emerson Quartet
continues to perform with the same benchmark intensity, integrity, energy and
commitment that it has demonstrated since it was formed in 1976. Violinists
Eugene Drucker and Philip Setzer, violist Lawrence Dutton and cellist David
Finckel will be bringing another remarkable program to Staller Center.
For their second concert at
Staller Center The
Emerson Quartet will perform an eclectic mix of chamber music: Ives Quartet
No. 1 "From the Salvation Army" (1898); Shostakovich
Quartet No. 9 (1964); Program also includes
JANACEK: Quartet No. 1
(Kreutzer); and BARBER: Adagio
In the
course of its career, the Quartet has released the complete Beethoven
quartets and performed the complete Shostakovich quartets at Lincoln
Center in New York and London. The Shostakovich quartets were recorded
live during three summers of performance at the Aspen Music Festival.
(December 3 was formerly the
“Tribute to Haydn and Mendelssohn” program) |
