Escher Brings Bartók to Santa Fe!
The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is renowned for its intimate setting and world-class performances. This year, classical music aficionados are in for a special treat: the acclaimed Escher String Quartet will be tackling the complete cycle of Béla Bartók’s string quartets. This marathon of quartets became a tradition with the Emerson Quartet in 1981, and that tradition is now being taken up by the Escher, who will present their second and final U.S. performance of the full cycle in Santa Fe, following a highly acclaimed performance in New York.
