Takács Quartet with Olga Kern, piano

“Classical music doesn’t get much more life-enhancing than this.”
–The Guardian

Founded in 1975 in Budapest, Hungary, the legendary Takács Quartet counts among its many awards a Grammy, multiple Gramophone Awards and the BBC Music Magazine Awards Disc of the Year. “Rich and subtle playing…. Their sound draws you in from the first moment. The opening chords and sinuous lines vibrate and thrill on many levels” hailed Gramophone Magazine. In their first engagement at the Virginia Arts Festival, this legendary ensemble will be joined by another musical powerhouse: the Festival’s Connie & Marc Jacobson Director of Chamber Music, the Van Cliburn Gold Medal-awarded pianist Olga Kern.
