The Takács Quartet is widely recognized for the intensity, passion, and virtuosic technique of its performances in virtually every music capital and prestigious festival around the world. Lauding the group as "currently the greatest string quartet in the world," the London Guardian says, "The consummate artistry of the Takács is simply breathtaking." The quartet wil perform with Joyce Yang, who was the silver medalist at the age of 19 at the Twelfth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in June 2005. The quartet will perform Franz Joseph Haydn's "Op. 74, No. 3," "Quartet No. 3 in B-flat minor," by Johannes Brahms, and Robert Schumann's "Piano Quintet."

Nothing is quite what it seems in THE DAY ROOM, set in a hospital where the psychiatric wing spectacularly fails to contain its inmates. The collection of sordid patients is regularly rounded up from their incursions into the ordinary ward where Wyatt (sophomore, Logan Pietz) is awaiting tests and his roommate Budge (sophomore, Christian Stokes) yearns for good conversation. Things start to become disturbing when the doctor, Bazelon (freshman, Gary Henderson), and nurses Walker (sophomore, Sarah Carlson) and Baker (senior, Courtney Pearson) turn out to be pretend-professionals. Gradually the "real" world seems to be turning into a huge psychiatric ward itself. By the second act THE DAY ROOM takes us to a motel that might not actually be a motel where we meet actors who might not actually be actors who are going to perform a play that might not actually be a play for madmen who might not actually be mad.
