Having thrilled Music Toronto audiences in 2022 with their elegance, precision and energy, the Esmé Quartet returns with a program of drama, rhythm, and sweeping lyricism. Samuel Barber’s Quartet, Op. 11 features the haunting slow movement later arranged as the famous Adagio for Strings. John Adams’s Book of Alleged Dances brims with folk energy and playful rhythm, while Antonín Dvořák’s majestic Quartet in G major, Op. 106 crowns the evening with radiant melody and power.
