Takács Quartet – Upcoming Concerts
Internationally respected for their innovative programming, the Takács Quartet has collaborated throughout their career with a fascinating variety of talents, including the bandoneón virtuoso Julien Labro, actors Meryl Streep and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, and the former United States Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky. The members of the Takács Quartet are Hyperion recording artists and Christoffersen Fellows in Residence at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Originally founded in 1975 at the Music Academy in Budapest, the members of Takács Quartet—Edward Dusinberre and Harumi Rhodes (violins), Richard O’Neill (viola) and András Fejér (cello)—are currently based out of North America but tour and perform almost continually around the world. Over the past year, the quartet could be heard in Berlin, Geneva, Linz, Innsbruck, Cambridge, New Zealand, New York, Boston, Philadelphia and, now, at the University of Maryland.
