Programme

Overview

Heinz Holliger found inspiration for his Second String Quartet while observing the passionate dialogue and occasional disputes generated during quartet rehearsals. The JACK Quartet prefaces the work’s dramatic ebb and flow with the five mesmerising movements of Glass’s Fifth String Quartet.

Supported by American Friends of Wigmore Hall
