The Axiom Quartet in Concert

The string quartet has long been considered the pinnacle of chamber music. Sure, the piano trio has a way of pitting the massive wall of sound of the piano against the two most beloved string instruments—the violin and the cello. Sure, the wind quintet is celebrated for its expressive sound palette and wide range of modern repertoire. But the string quartet, as a genre, has a way of gripping the listener's attention and never letting go. It is incredibly balanced—the perfect blend of the violin's intensity, the viola's warm color, and the cello's rich timbre. This combination of string instruments, when played with the grace and precision of the Axiom Quartet, is just about the closest thing to the human voice one can find. Come hear these four musicians shine as they present two masterworks by Claude Debussy and Ludwig van Beethoven!
