Among Europe's most enduring and admired ensembles, the Hagen Quartet returns to Cal Performances for the first time in more than a quarter century with a formidable program of works by Haydn and Robert Schumann. In its 40-year history, the Hagen has earned a reputation for performances of exceptional refinement and ensemble cohesion. "It is hard to know what to admire most in the quartet's playing.... The focus and unanimity are astounding. The music seems to have an inner life. You get the impression that every note, every gesture has been carefully considered" (The New York Times).
