On WCRB In Concert with Vivo Performing Arts, the Takács Quartet performs two of the most notable 19th-Century string quartets in the repertoire: Haydn’s luminous “Sunrise” quartet and the second of Beethoven’s "Razumovsky" quartets. Paired with these quartets, the ensemble performs an exciting Vivo Performing Arts co-commission from American violist and composer Nokuthula Ngwenyama: "Flow," a work inspired by the Big Bang, Ngwenyama's yoga practice, and the murmurations of starlings.
