John Gilhooly, Director of Wigmore Hall, today announced that from the 2012-13 season, the Takács Quartet will be Associate Artists at the Hall. This is a new position which is awarded on a long-term basis to senior internationally acclaimed ensembles who will be central to the venue’s chamber music output over many years. John Gilhooly said: “As part of a major focus on the works of Benjamin Britten at Wigmore Hall next season, the Takács Quartet will perform all three of the composer’s string quartets in December 2012. Looking forward to 2013, the Quartet will also perform celebrated works at the pinnacle of the quartet repertoire by Brahms, Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert. This pairing of some of the greatest works of the chamber music repertoire with a superlative ensemble, promises nothing less than excellence. I am very pleased to welcome back the Quartet to the Wigmore stage, and we all look forward to many marvellous years of music-making for years to come.” |
