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

Located in Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan, The Met Cloisters brings the Middle Ages to life through the art, architecture, and gardens of medieval Europe.

This performance is made possible by the Howard and Sarah D. Solomon Foundation.
