Press "Late Beethoven is not for the young, it is sometimes said, but what the Vinca Quartet did with Beethoven’s A minor Quartet on Wednesday was stunning.... Like Schubert’s String Quintet in C, this music does seem to operate with one foot in another world. The slow movement’s Lydian scale from ancient times (think of the key of F with B natural instead of B flat) creates soft cadential landings that have barely touched ground before they float off again. The Vinca musicians are worth keeping an eye on." —Bernard Holland, NY Times New York Times article
"Appearing as invited guests on the prestigious Takács Quartet Series, the dynamic and personable Vinca Quartet won over a discriminating audience Monday evening. The quartet chose a challenging program that engaged the audience both intellectually and emotionally, delivering it with precision ensemble work and heart-rending beauty.
