"Abundant energy. Technical sovereignty. A near-heavenly experience." These are just a few of the glowing words that music critics have used to praise performances by the Takacs Quartet.

Their performance at the Gallagher-Bluedorn will feature music from Beethoven, Sessions and Dohnanyi, and an appearance by American pianist Garrick Ohlsson. Ohlsson has established himself worldwide as a musician of extraordinary interpretative power.

"Mr. Ohlsson is a superb technician...the arm-blurring speed and the scintillating sparkle of the delicate filigree came as no surprise."
