ABOUT THIS EVENT

Strings at the Shrine

Witness the world premiere of John Luther Adams' newest composition, Never and Always Becoming.

Performed by the JACK Quartet, known for pushing the boundaries of chamber music. With the sonorous acoustics of the church and the unique melodies of the pieces, you'll soon realize this is no ordinary string concert.

There will be 2 back to back concerts. The JACK Quartet opens the first concert with John Cage's String Quartet in Four Parts and the second with Philip Glass' String Quartet No. 5 before showcasing John Luther Adams' world premiere, Never and Always Becoming at both performances.

John Luther Adams inspires us not only to listen more attentively, but to be more aware of the world in which we live. This … book … should not only be on the shelves of everyone interested in the music of our time but also anyone interested in being alive. -
