EMERSON STRING QUARTET

Additional Information

The Emerson String Quartet stands on its own in the history of string quartets, having amassed an unparalleled list of achievements over four decades: more than thirty acclaimed recordings, nine Grammys®, three Gramophone Awards, the Avery Fisher Prize, Musical America’s Ensemble of the Year and collaborations with many of the greatest artists of our time. This groundbreaking ensemble has a well-earned place in the music world. Returning to Wharton Center after 10 years, this special performance features Haydn’s charming String Quartet in D Major, “The Frog” (named for the clever arrangement in the finale); Dvorák’s popular folk music inspired String Quartet No. 10 in E-flat Major, Op. 51; and Beethoven’s emotion-filled and technically acrobatic “Razumovsky” Quartet, Op. 59, No. 2.
