Takács Quartet

Jordan Bak, viola

Edward Dusinberre and Harumi Rhodes violins
Richard O’Neill viola
András Fejér cello
with Jordan Bak viola 

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. 

While all five musicians are dedicated champions of contemporary music, they bring their interpretive insights to bear on string quintets by Mozart, a composer whose legacy echoes across history.  

The Quartet opens the program with Schubert’s Quartettsatz, a riveting movement filled with turbulence and lyricism. At the heart of the program, hear two relative rarities performed with unparalleled artistry and depth as Jordan Bak joins forces with the inimitable Takács Quartet!
