Presented in collaboration with the University of Iowa String Quartet Residency Program and Center for New Music
The venturous quartet follows up last year’s John Zorn concert with music by John Luther Adams and Elliott Carter.
The members of JACK Quartet—champions of contemporary music and musicians of prodigious talent—return to play compositions by two towering giants. John Luther Adams—whose work "Inuksuit" is central to Steve Schick’s October residency—invites listeners to slow down and share a specific time and space together. Meanwhile, Elliott Carter’s fifth quartet opens a window on the compositional process.
