Forty-two years of shared history… a beautiful and replete career for a quartet, and enough to make the Emerson a cultural institution, invited to perform on the world’s most prestigious stages… For this evening’s performance, Haydn rubs elbows with Shostakovich and Dvořák, in a programme of contrasts designed to showcase a few rare pearls of the repertoire.
