The Takács Quartet—long celebrated for their fearlessness, power, and interpretive clarity—finds a well-matched partner in American violist Jordan Bak. Like the Quartet, Bak draws praise for his power and warmth, commanding presence, and ability to captivate an audience’s attention and imagination. 

Pierre-Laurent Aimard, one of the world’s most respected pianists, makes a long-anticipated Celebrity Series debut with his signature intellect, expressiveness, and clarity. Join Aimard for an 88-key journey though the 24 keys of the preludes and fugues of Book II of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, where his insightful interpretation reveals the genius of Bach in thrilling new dimensions. 

Blessed with “poetic and sensitive pianism” (Washington Post) and a “wondrous sense of color” (San Francisco Classical Voice), Grammy Award-nominated pianist Joyce Yang captivates audiences with her virtuosity, lyricism, and interpretive insight.

Still in his early 20s and only two years out of Juilliard, Canadian pianist Tony Siqi Yun is already making waves as a soloist and recitalist. Praised for his refinement, muscular sound, and intimate expressivity, Yun has “an emergent big personality” (Philadelphia Inquirer) that makes him a pianist you’ll want to experience firsthand.
