JACK Quartet
Cal Performances Ensemble Debut
Among the most nimble ensembles in contemporary music today, the adventurous JACK Quartet visits with a kaleidoscopic program of new and recent works by living composers. The group is known for the fierce commitment and virtuosity it brings to a range of innovative and idiosyncratic repertoire—in a landscape where each piece and each composer challenges the players with novel techniques, sounds, and approaches to their music making.
Here, JACK performs commissioned works by American composers Juri Seo and Anthony Cheung, and landmark contemporary music by European luminaries Hans Abrahamsen and Helmut Lachenmann.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear these influential works played by true modern masters! “One of the most eye-opening and exhilarating concerts I’ve heard all season” (The New York Times).
