JACK Quartet
The Olivier Music Barn, 6:30 PM
Pre Concert Talk: 5:00 PM, Tiara Acoustic Shell
Description
With violinists Christopher Otto and Austin Wulliman, John Pickford Richards, viola, and Jay Campbell, cello, the JACK Quartet has been called “superheroes of the new music world” (The Boston Globe) and “the go-to quartet for contemporary music, tying impeccable musicianship to intellectual ferocity and a take-no-prisoners sense of commitment” (The Washington Post). It’s natural, then, that these champions of new music should perform works by the composer John Luther Adams, including the world premiere of Lines Made By Walking (String Quartet No. 5), which was commissioned by Tippet Rise and which Adams began composing while in residence at the art center in 2018.
