Music Toronto presents Escher String Quartet

Descripción

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.
