Info zu John Luther Adams: Everything That Rises

Formed by an intrepid group of Eastman School of Music students in 2007, the JACK Quartet has established a well-earned reputation as one of the world’s premier chamber groups devoted to contemporary works by living composers, inspiring the Boston Globe to call them “superheroes of the new music world.” They have performed on the prestigious stages of Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center and received the Trailblazer Award from New Music USA, the CMS/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, and the Martin E. Segal Award from Lincoln Center. They have worked extensively with modern masters including Steve Reich, John Zorn, Roger Reynolds, Georg Friedrich Haas, and of course John Luther Adams, with whom they recorded Adams’ 2015 Cold Blue Music release The Wind in High Places.

“'Everything That Rises,' my fourth quartet, grew out of 'Sila: The Breath of the World'—a concert-length choral/orchestral work composed on a rising series of sixteen harmonic clouds. This music traverses that same territory, but in a much more melodic way. Each musician is a soloist, playing throughout. Time floats and the lines spin out, always rising, in acoustically perfect intervals that grow progressively smaller as they spiral upward…until the music dissolves into the soft noise of the bows, sighing.” (John Luther Adams)
