"An ensemble so polished it can leave audiences with their jaws agape..."

-The Post-Standard

"Certainly a pair of destination events, CMS’s double-concert tribute to the incomparable Emerson String Quartet, on the occasion of the ensemble’s 40th anniversary season, will live long in the memories of listeners. The Emerson celebrates with a selection of repertoire that has earned the quartet its unrivalled nine Grammy Awards, delighted quartet aficionados the world over, and cemented its reputation as one of the greatest chamber ensembles of all time."

Watch, wonder, and enjoy...
