The Metropolitan Museum Of Art: Celebrating Morton Feldman: "Violin and String Quartet"
JACK Quartet and violinist Keir GoGwilt explore an essential New York composer’s hypnotic sound.
The meditative, time-stretching works of pioneering New York City composer Morton Feldman (1926–1987) endure 100 years after his birth for their muted beauty and radical innovation. Join today’s “leading new-music foursome” (The New York Times) JACK Quartet and violinist Keir GoGwilt for a performance of one of Feldman’s final works, Violin and String Quartet (1985). Don’t miss this expansive experiment in duration and instrumental conversation, set against the medieval splendor of the 12th-century Fuentidueña Chapel at The Met Cloisters.
Featuring:
Keir GoGwilt, violin
JACK Quartet
Christopher Otto, violin
Austin Wulliman, violin
John Pickford Richards, viola
Jay Campbell, cello
