Aspen Music Festival: A Recital by the Takács Quartet

Event Description

"Experience the transformative power of chamber music performed by one of the greatest ensembles on the world stage today. Ngwenyama writes in her program note, 'When Harumi Rhodes of the celebrated Takács Quartet asked me about writing a piece for the group I was surprised, greatly honored and fearful. The string quartet is considered a perfect ensemble…Harumi asked that the quartet be about anything in the natural world…I researched a wide array of subjects for over a year… I listened to the recordings of the Takács Quartet with gusto."
