Takacs Quartet
The Takács Quartet irresistible blend of virtuosic technique and engaging personality offers a window into the Hungarian quartet tradition.
In 2012, Gramophone announced that the Takács was the only string quartet to be inducted into its first Hall of Fame, along with such legendary artists as Jascha Heifetz, Leonard Bernstein and Dame Janet Baker. The ensemble also won the 2011 Award for Chamber Music and Song presented by the Royal Philharmonic Society in London. Based in Boulder at the University of Colorado, the Takács Quartet performs ninety concerts a year worldwide, in North America, throughout Europe as well as in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea. For its return to the Center, the Quartet has selected three Beethoven Quartets.
