Escher Quartet & Terrence Wilson, piano

Escher Quartet:
Adam Barnett-Hart, violin
Brendan Speltz, violin
Pierre Lapointe, viola
Brook Speltz, cello

Acclaimed for its “eloquent, full-blooded playing,” the Escher Quartet offers “a beautiful blend of individuality and accord.” (BBC Music Magazine) They perform regularly at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, and at Lincoln Center, where they will perform the complete cycle of Bartók’s string quartets in March. Here, they are joined by Grammy nominee Terrence Wilson, “one of the biggest pianistic talents to have emerged in this country in the last 25 years” (Baltimore Sun).
