Part of the Cheltenham Chamber Music 2019-20

Add to my Calendar 06-11-2019 19:30 06-11-2019 21:30 36 Takács Quartet We are delighted to welcome once again the Takács Quartet, our regular visitors since 1984. One of the world’s great quartets, its concerts are a never-failing source of pleasure. The New York Times recently lauded the ensemble for ‘revealing the familiar as unfamiliar, making the most traditional of works feel radical once more’, Anyone can play with wild abandon; few manage to make it sound pretty. The Takács Quartet is an exception. Even in the most fiendish repertoire these players show no fear, injecting the music with a heady sense of freedom – Financial Times Pittville Pump Room, Cheltenham DD/MM/YYYY
