Upcoming Events
Americas Society
Round-about at Americas Society
JACK brings a bevy of creative voices together in NYC at the Americas Society in this recital featuring close friends and many pieces written for JACK. Vicente Atria's Round-about bubbles off the page with microtonal counterpoint and rhythmic drive, Marcos Balter's Chambers whispers secrets from rooms yet unseen, and Eduardo Aguilar's HYPER puts the minute gestural world of the quartet under a microscope, blowing it up into a drama full of fireworks. Leilehua Lanzelotti's ahupua‘a gets its very first NYC performance in a new version and the quartet also presents the results of their audio-visual collaboration with Daniel Bruno, the quizzical and surprisingly affective Lost & Founds.
Program:
Marcos Balter, Chambers
Eduardo Aguilar, HYPER
Leilehua Lanzilotti, ahupua‘a
Daniel Bruno, Lost & Founds
