About This Event

Video Premiere
LIVE FROM COLUMBIA: POP-UPS IN LANTERN
Co-presented with Columbia University School of the Arts

The very first public performance by the acclaimed JACK Quartet featured Helmut Lachenmann’s string quartet Grido, and it’s been a constant for them ever since. The mastering of this technically demanding piece shows their incredible talent, but their expressive interpretation reveals their brilliance as an ensemble. Hear them perform this work, alongside two other solo pieces by Lachenmann which explore nontraditional techniques and sounds.

The virtual concerts in the Live from Columbia series are filmed live and premiered throughout the 2020-21 season at millertheatre.com/live-from-columbia. On-demand streaming will be available immediately after.
