Escher Quartet with Jordan Bak
Chamber Music Pittsburgh presents award-winning Jamaican-American violist Jordan Bak joins the Escher Quartet for the opening concert of our 2024–25 MainStage Live season. Embodying the range of artistic voices that have shaped chamber music, this program pairs 20th-century works by Florence Price and Samuel Barber, including his haunting Adagio for Strings, with a beloved string quintet by Johannes Brahms.
Bak has achieved international acclaim as a trailblazing artist, praised for his stage presence, dynamic interpretations, and fearless power. Bak adds his “haunting lyrical grace” (Gramophone) to the “beautiful blend of individuality and accord” (BBC Music Magazine) that distinguishes the Escher Quartet.
