Musica Viva presents Takacs Quartet

August 22, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

“Commitment, precision and sparkle.” The Boston Globe

The secret behind the enduring love affair between this world-renowned ensemble and its Australian public is both the simplest and hardest thing about chamber music: the interplay between four very different creative personalities. Hear the Takács Quartet meld their sound into amazing unity in classics by Haydn, Beethoven and Dvorák, and a world premiere by Carl Vine.

EDWARD DUSINBERRE violin
