"Definitive... no other single word more aptly describes the achievement by this superb foursome." (Chicago Tribune)

Established in 1972 by students at the Prague Conservatory, the Quartet soon won several awards, including first prize at the Evian String Quartet Competition in 1978. Its recordings have also won many honors, among them a special prize from Radio France for the best recording during the Evian Competition, the Grand Prix International du Disque, and the Diapason d'Or. The Quartet returns to the Series with violist Roger Tapping, a member of the Order of the Knight Cross of the Hungarian Republic and known to Coleman audiences from his tenure with the Takács Quartet.

The program for this concert will include:

Haydn   Quartet in D Major, Op. 50, No. 6 "The Frog"
Beethoven   Quintet in C Major, Op. 29 "Storm Quintet"
