Emerson String Quartet Farewell Tour
Description
The Emerson Quartet’s farewell tour comes to Santa Fe! With an artistic legacy spanning four decades, the Emerson Quartet is without a doubt one of the foremost chamber music ensembles in the world. Its repertory spanning hundreds of pieces, the Quartet has brought “audacity and freshness” (Boston Globe) to the world’s most distinguished concert halls and has collaborated with numerous composers, maestros, and soloists to great acclaim— nine Grammys, three Gramophone Awards, and Musical America’s “Ensemble of the Year” award, to name just a few. Emerson Quartet’s impact on the world of chamber music has been undeniable: “With musicians like this there must be some hope for humanity.” (The Times, London) Don’t miss your last chance to see the historic ensemble perform some of their most beloved repertoire!
