Emma Concert Calendar Share Emma Concert Series - Stradivari Quartet

Four Stradivaris, perfect musical instruments, find four musicians who bring out of them all the height and depth of human emotion that music can express. What unites the Stradivari Quartet is their love of music; what drives them is their enthusiasm to use their musical talent to tell stories. Stradivari instruments are inimitable in their tone. Antonio Giacomo Stradivari (circa 1644 - 1737) lived in the northern Italian city of Cremona. He created instruments to provide a perfect sound to complement the compositions of his time, instruments of a sound quality that remains unmatched to this day. Just the name Stradivari has a special drawing power that promises an unforgettable event. Of 1100 stringed instruments Stradivari created into his old age, around 650 remain.—The New York Sun
