Takács Quartet

October 19, 2004 music Comments Off

So, they came to Bass Hall in Fort Worth last week. Can you believe I missed them? I was so sad. Amela even had two tickets for us to go, but we had a quartet rehearsal that we couldn’t get out of so she gave the tickets to Josh and Glori. We felt almost ill at losing this opportunity.

But Josh and Glori went to the concert, and Josh said it was incredible. I was about to make a Bartók/Shostakovich joke (sort of an inside joke that I don’t want to explain on my public blog, but some of you guys reading this know what I’m talking about).

One of my students also went to the concert and she absolutely loved it! She’s a quiet little 8th grade student who doesn’t say much, but as soon as I asked her about the concert her face lit up and she was as close to excited as I’ve ever seen her.

They played Beethoven, Bartok, and Borodin. (sigh)
