    Overview

    Works ancient and modern coalesce to form atypically fascinating JACK Quartet programme,offered as part of Wigmore Hall’s 115th Anniversarycelebrations.

    The rhythmic complexities of musicfrom the fourteenth-century French Ars nova andexpressive extremes of Gesualdo’s madrigalsshare the bill with the UK première of CarolineShaw’s Ritornello 2.sq.2.j, an exquisitely beautifulstudy in musical fragmentation and repetition.

    In honour of André and Rosalie Hoffmann and their outstanding contribution to contemporary music at Wigmore Hall over the past decade
