The Emerson String Quartet has maintained its status as one of the world’s premier chamber music ensembles for nearly fifty years.

The quartet has made more than 30 acclaimed recordings and has been honored with nine Grammy Awards (including two for Best Classical Album), three Gramophone Awards, the Avery Fisher Prize, and Musical America’s “Ensemble of the Year” award.

Known for its “lively, nuanced playing” (New York Times), the quartet brings an all-Beethoven program to Athens for its final visit to Hodgson Concert Hall as part of its farewell tour.
