Pascal Dusapin Residency – Pascal Dusapin, Jack Quartet

Date
January 17th
Time
8.30 p.m.
The Jack Quartet, recognised for its catalytic role in contemporary music since its founding in 2005, explores all that the string quartet can offer in innovation, experimentation and sheer audacity.

And there is certainly no lack of audacity in these four New York-based musicians, who have concocted a programme centred on contemporary reinterpretations of the French and Italian Renaissance, in which talented young composers engage in a vibrant dialogue between old and new, including Christopher Otto, violinist of the Jack Quartet. In parallel, the four musicians lend their bows to the fertile pen of composer-in-residence Pascal Dusapin, who presents the first performance of his String Quartet No. 8, commissioned by the Fondation.
