Our Winter Festival presents four spectacular ensembles whose artistry is lighting the way for the next generation of string quartets.

Like the Beethoven cycle, Bartók’s six quartets constitute a compelling and comprehensive journey through the composer’s creative and personal life. Hearing them in a single evening is a rare gift. The Escher Quartet’s searing intensity and explosive virtuosity provide an awe-inspiring conclusion to this season’s Winter Festival.
