The Emerson String Quartet stands alone in the history of sting quartet with an unparalleled list of achievements over three decades: 30 acclaimed recordings produced with Deutsche Grammophon since 1987, eight Grammy Awards (inculuding two for Best Classical Album, an unprecedented honor for a chamber music group), three Gramophone Awards, the coveted Avery Fisher Prize and cycles of the complete Beethoven, Bartok, and Shostakovich string quartets in the world's musical capitals, from New York to London to Vienna. After more than 31 years of extensive touring and recording, the Emerson quartet continues to perform with the same benchmark intesity, integrity, energy, and commitment that it has demonstrated since it was formed in 1976. Program features: Schubert's Quartet in E-flat Major, D. 87; Janacek's String Quartet No. 2, "Intimate Letters," and Beethoven's String Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 127
