About the Takács Quartet: Edward Dusinberre, Harumi Rhodes (violins), Richard O’Neill (viola) and András Fejér (cello)
The fifty-year legacy of the Takács Quartet is one of constant discovery and rediscovery. The quartet was formed in 1975 at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest by Gabor Takács-Nagy, Károly Schranz, Gabor Ormai and András Fejér, while all four were students. The group received international attention in 1977, winning First Prize and the Critics’ Prize at the International String Quartet Competition in Evian, France. The Quartet made its North American debut tour in 1982.
