This week, Twin Cities audiences were treated to the farewell concert of the brilliant, very talented Emerson String Quartet. The group is on its final tour. Sunday afternoon, February 12, 2023, in the tonally excellent sanctuary of St. Anthony Park United Church of Christ, the quartet offered, to an enthusiastic and appreciative audience, Haydn’s Quartet No 29, Shostakovich’s Quartet No. 12, and Dvorak’s Quartet No. 14.
Violins soared in the Haydn and Dvorak, and the cello boomed dramatic and heart-stilling sequences in the piece by Shostakovich. The string quartet demonstrated forcefully and with subtle nuance it’s range of talent and musical appreciation.
The concert was one of series in the well-established Julie Himmelstrup “Music In The Park” series, now in its thirtieth decade. “Music In The Park” has become a part of the well-established classical music presentation efforts of the Schubert Club, now celebrating 140 years.
