CMNZ Series: Takács Quartet

Lauded for their recordings of Joseph Haydn’s String Quartets, the Takács Quartet will open their programme with Op. 74, No. 3, known as The Rider – a reference to the galloping licks in the finale, and will finish with Ludwig van Beethoven’s glorious No. 9, Op. 59 No. 3, Razumovsky.

Between these two tōtara of the string quartet repertoire, the Takács Quartet will present a new work, Flow by American solo violist and composer, Nokuthula Ngwenyama, that seeks to express the creation of the universe as it expanded out from a primeval atom 13.7 billion years ago.
