*Music Toronto: Escher String Quartet*
Escher String Quartet makes its Music Toronto debut with a program that moves from classical brilliance to late-Romantic intensity.
Joseph Haydn’s sparkling Op. 76 No. 1 opens the evening, followed by the lush cinematic voice of Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s rarely heard Third Quartet, before the profound lyricism and drama of Johannes Brahms’s A minor Quartet. Formed in 2005, the Escher is named for the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, inspired by his method of interplay between individual components working together to form a whole.
In partnership with Music Toronto, the quartet will be in residence at the University of Toronto Faculty of Music, culminating in a pre-concert performance alongside student chamber musicians.
“Elegant, incisive and full of character.” — The New York Times
