Segerstrom Center for the Arts presents returning artists Takács Quartet for one night only in the Samueli Theater on January 27, 2023 at 7:30pm.
Entering their 48th season of performing, longtime audience favorite Takács Quartet is returning to Samueli Theater as part of this season’s Chamber Music Series.
The program will include Britten: String Quartet No. 1, Bartok: String Quartet No. 6, Dvorak: String Quartet in G Major, Op. 106.
The quartet—Edward Dusinberre, violin; Harumi Rhodes, violin; Richard O’Neill, viola; and Andras Fejer, cello—is renowned for the vitality of its interpretations. This premier chamber music ensemble won their 4th Gramophone Classical Music Award for Chamber Music in 2021 and continues to produce incredible recordings of chamber music. Takács Quartet is the first-string quartet to be inducted into the Gramophone Hall of Fame and this one-night-only concert is not to be missed.
This performance includes a pre-show talk with musicologist Dr. Byron Adams and will make for a perfect night of classical music.
The title of the performance, Musical Voyages, comes from Edward Dusinberre’s new book Distant Melodies: Music in Search of Home. The pieces on the program were written by composers during periods of their lives shaped by departures and homecomings, themes explored in Dusinberre’s book.
