The Grammy-winning Takács Quartet returns to Shriver Hall with a program inspired by the natural world. A premiere by Nokuthula Ngwenyama, an American composer of Zimbabwean-Japanese heritage, is bookended by Haydn and Beethoven's Op. 59, No. 2 Quartet, conceived as the composer gazed at the stars contemplating the harmony of the spheres.
Please join us for a Pre-Concert Talk at 4:30pm in Shriver Hall.
This concert will be approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes in duration, including an intermission.
Program subject to change without notice.
