Bandoneon phenom Julien Labro joins the revered Takács Quartet for a stunning program blending vibrant new works with a Ravel masterpiece.
Labro joins the quartet for new works by pioneering contemporary composers Bryce Dessner and Clarice Assad, and performs a short solo set displaying his blistering brilliance on the bandoneon — and with it the heartbeat of tango. The Takács is featured in Ravel's String Quartet — one of the most radiant works in chamber music. An arresting artistic collaboration, rich with imagination and color.
