Musician and author Edward Dusinberre is first violinist in the renowned Takács Quartet - one of the world's greatest string quartets.
During his 30 years with the quartet, Edward has also authored two books - most recently Distant Melodies: Music in Search of Home, a combination of memoir and music history, looking at how music is tied to home, displacement and isolation.
The Takács Quartet will be playing at Nelson's Adam Chamber Music Festival in February.
