Shai Wosner + JACK Quartet
JACK Quartet joins forces with pianist Shai Wosner for a bold program of chamber music. The program includes JACK violinist Christopher Otto’s Miserere, after Nathaniel Giles, the artist’s contemporary rhythmic elaboration of a 16th century work by the English Renaissance composer. Wosner performs one solo piano piece, George Benjamin’s Relativity Rag, while JACK features or combines with Wosner on Henry Purcell’s Fantasy upon one note (piano quintet), Ruth Crawford Seeger’s String Quartet 1931, Wolfgang Rihm’s Interscriptum (piano quintet), Amy Williams’ Cineshapes #2 (piano quintet), and Thomas Ades’ Piano Quintet.
