What does this symbol mean?

The beloved Bay Area favorite—easily one of the world's premier string ensembles—continues its exploration of the complete Beethoven string quartet cycle at Cal Performances with concerts that are probing, revealing, and constantly engaging, heralded for both their intellectual curiosity and passion. The Takács is often singled-out for its remarkable ability to play "from inside the music," with unanimity of purpose but never compromising the individual personalities of the members. "When performances so connect with mind, heart, and soul, it is clear we've been witness to—and part of—artistic greatness." (The Plain Dealer, Cleveland).
