JACK Quartet : áltaVoz Composers

Americas Society presents an entire program of exciting new music by the áltaVoz composers, performed by the JACK Quartet.

Praised for its “powerhouse playing” by The Chicago Sun-Times and “extraordinary precision” by The Boston Globe, the JACK Quartet has quickly established a reputation for giving high-energy performances of today’s most demanding works for string quartet.

áltaVoz, described as “a group to watch” by New Music Connoisseur, is a group of five Latin American, cutting-edge composers living in United States and Europe who work together to organize concerts, lectures and workshops around the world.
