Emerson String Quartet

“The four minds play upon each other … in perfect harmony.” The New Yorker

The accolades for this top-notch ensemble are as extensive as they are impressive: 30 acclaimed recordings with Deutsche Grammophon, eight Grammy Awards, three Gramophone Awards, the Avery Fisher Prize, and more than three decades of outstanding performances worldwide, including cycles of the complete quartet works of Beethoven, Bartók, Mendelssohn, and Shostakovich. The Emerson String Quartet is the best of the best, and we are thrilled to have them return to Meany Hall. The Emerson sells out, so purchase your tickets early!
