Marking its 50th anniversary this season, and still with one original member, cellist András Fejér, the Takács Quartet, our perennial favourites in concert, return to Vancouver. Tagged as one of the 10 greatest string quartets of the past 100 years by BBC Music Magazine, this astounding group still brings to life the classic Hungarian tradition of string playing, rhythmically dynamic and full toned. “Classical music doesn’t get much more life-enhancing than this.” (The Guardian) “Rich contrasts: a Wigmore Hall evening of dazzling versatility…” (Seen and Heard International).
