The Emerson Quartet performs Mendelssohn, Brahms, and Dvořák "The Final Curtain": their last ever concert in Prague (Dvořák Hall)

About

In 2023, the illustrious Emerson Quartet announced that—after 47 years, dozens of acclaimed recordings, nine Grammy Awards, and a robust international career—they would disband later that year after performing a series of farewell concerts around the world. The Final Curtain, which shows their last ever performance in Prague at the famed Dvořák Hall, is a moving testament to the depth of their rapport, the precision of their craft, and the remarkable artistry that led The Times to write that "with musicians like this, there must be some hope for humanity."
