The Escher String Quartet has risen through the ranks to become one of music’s most engaging string ensembles. A former BBC New Generation Artist, the quartet has performed at the BBC Proms at Cadogan Hall and is a regular guest at Wigmore Hall. In its hometown of New York City, the ensemble serves as a featured group with The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

The quartet has broadened its reputation by becoming collaborators with a wide range of artists. One of its more enduring and rewarding partnerships has been with Grammy-winning guitarist Jason Vieaux. They join forces for a delightful program of chamber music by Boccherini, Bach, Beethoven and Castelnuovo-Tedesco, some of which is held in manuscript at the Library of Congress.

Join us for a pre-concert conversation with the artists at 6:30 p.m. in Whittall Pavilion.
