JACK Quartet + Ellen Fullman

When Ellen Fullman plays the Long String Instrument she designed, it’s as if she were walking among the strings of a giant grand piano. The American composer, performer, and instrument builder moves between rows of strings over twenty meters long, setting them into vibration with her fingertips, bringing architectural spaces around the world to life with sound. For MaerzMusik 2026, Fullman continues her exploration of the Long String Instrument – this time together with the JACK Quartet. “In my music I wish to reveal the physics of string vibration itself, intending to bring awareness to the beauty of the structure of the universe in which we live.”
