Jacobsen Series: icarus Quartet

Experience the icarus Quartet performing Bartók Rebórn, a riveting program featuring and paying homage to Bartók’s Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, through the artistic vision of three of today’s most illuminating musical minds.

Like the mythological figure from which it draws its name, the half piano/half percussion icarus Quartet dares to fly towards the sun, aspiring to new heights of artistry.

Following their Carnegie Hall debut, composer Paul Lansky simply remarked, “This is music making of the highest order.”

The Wall Street Journal hailed icarus Quartet’s 2022 album, as “a beautifully immersive recording… an impressive calling card.”
