Mark Steinberg of the Brentano Quartet writes, "Beethoven’s Grosse Fuge, Op. 133, is one of the great artistic testaments to the human capacity for meaning in the face of the threat of chaos.” You don’t trust a work of this caliber to just any ensemble, but in the hands of the Parker Quartet, audiences are sure to walk away transformed.

As the quartet in residence at both Harvard University and University of South Carolina, the Grammy award winning Parker Quartet returns to Kansas City to present a blockbuster program featuring a classical master and two 20th-century innovators.
