Takács Quartet listing on Broadway Baby

Regular visitors to the International Festival, the Takcs Quartet brings music to stir and delight in a vivid and passionate performance.

Among the worlds most accomplished chamber ensembles " and one of its most musically distinctive " the Takcs Quartet draws proudly on its early Hungarian origins in its vivid musical personality and passionate performances. Its members have been universally praised for their immaculate balance between rich individual playing and compelling overall sound.

Regular and much-admired visitors to the International Festival over many years, they bring music to stir and delight the emotions. Haydn maintains all the vigour of his youth amid the gracefulness and craftsmanship of his final string quartet, while Samuel Coleridge-Taylor reveals an unbridled sonic imagination in the five vivid musical pictures of his Fantasiestcke. The Takcs players bring the concert to a magical close with the exquisite melodies and sophistication of Ravels deeply moving String Quartet.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
