JACK Quartet launched into the new year with a bi-coastal tour: University of Washington, Santa Cruz with the Lightbulb Ensemble, and Wallis Center in LA on the west coast, and on the East Coast: Boston University, Treetops Chamber Music Society in Connecticut, and Carnegie Hall’s Neighborhood Concert series in Brooklyn.
“…the JACKs captured the fleeting gossamer essence of music seemingly impossible to capture.”
After stops for performances at University of Maryland and Eastman School of Music, the Quartet returns to Wigmore Hall, where they will perform a day-long marathon of the complete quartets (plus one quintet) of Iannis Xenakis. Next is Italy for concerts in Florence and Genoa, featuring music by Ruth Crawford Seeger, Julia Wolfe, Derek Bermel, Morton Feldman, and Cenk Ergün.
