Composer John Zorn is undeniably a fount of creativity—who "has seemed for more than 40 years to be a freethinker who surpasses all genre boundaries." (Elbphilharmonie) The JACK Quartet is the perfect ensemble to engage with Zorn's music. San Francisco Classical Voice says, "It's hard to think of another string quartet that plays ... ferociously contemporary repertoire with their impeccable precision."
The Senate Chamber of the Old Capitol Museum with be filled with the sounds of Zorn's imaginings in a concert equal parts adventuresome and thrilling.
