JACK Quartet & Shai Wosner
The “superheroes of the new music world” (Boston Globe) join forces with “transcendent” pianist Shai Wosner (N Y Times) for a wide-ranging program of Renaissance and new music. They bring to life music by Henry Purcell and modern classics including Ruth Crawford Seeger’s String Quartet 1931 and George Benjamin’s ragtime-inspired Relativity Rag alongside more recent works, including Thomas Adès’s thrilling, mind-bending Piano Quintet.
