The Emerson String Quartet has amassed an impressive list of achievements in its 27-year history — six Grammy Awards including the 2006 Grammy for Best Chamber Music Performance, and highly acclaimed performances of Beethoven, Bartók and Shostakovich quartets in major concert halls around the world. The group is often praised for approaching both classical and contemporary repertoire with equal mastery and enthusiasm, and for its brilliant artistry and technical mastery. Join us in April and see why Newsday says the Emerson "staked its claim to being the one indispensable quartet in a world that is constantly creating more, excellent ensembles" and the London Times says "with musicians like this, there must be some hope for humanity."
