Speaking with the JACK Quartet, music of John Luther Adams, Georg Friedrich Haas

Today I am speaking with the JACK Quartet, one of my favourite quartets active today. The quartet specializes in new music and they have played music extensively of 2 of my very favourite active composers today: John Luther Adams and Georg Friedrich Haas. We will hear the JACK Quartet in performances of both these great composers. The JACK Quartet is playing in most of the New music concerts, at this year's Chamberfest with composers I know like Rzewski, Zorn, Cage and some I am not familiar including the Canadian composer Marc Sabat on whom they are focusing at this year's festival. http://www.chamberfest.com/concerts/15-803-02/ http://www.chamberfest.com/concerts/15-803-03/ http://www.chamberfest.com/concerts/15-804-01/ http://www.chamberfest.com/concerts/15-804-03/ http://www.chamberfest.com/concerts/15-804-04/ We also hear the recent recording from clarinetist Kinan Azmeh and pianist Dinuk Wijeratne who gave a superb performance Wednesday night.
