Named "America's greatest quartet" by Time Magazine, the Emerson String Quartet is unparalleled in talent and achievements over the years. The winner of eight Grammy Awards (including two for Best Classical Album, an unprecedented honor for a chamber music group), three Gramophone Awards, the coveted Avery Fisher Prize, and various other honors, the Emerson String Quartet is in class of its own. After more than 30 years of performing, these musicians retain the intensity and vigor held at their first performance in 1976. Says Gramophone, "The Emerson gives us playing of exceptional technical accomplishment and an unusually wide expressive range. They continually offer new insights into some endlessly enthralling music. Do hear them."

Red Stick Ramblers
Red Stick Ramblers
Friday, Feb 26,  8:00 PM
Music Hall
$22 General Admission, $10 UW-Madison students with a valid ID.
Like the cuisine of Louisiana, the music of the Red Stick Ramblers starts with a blast of heat (which commands attention right off the bat), then moves to subtler notes, making for an irresistibly captivating experience. Connecting styles as diverse as traditional Cajun, western swing, blues and old-school jazz, these guys romp and stomp through a crazy-quilt of originals and classic covers with the high-octane energy that could only come from a band accustomed to keeping dance-floors jumping for hours at a time.
