JACK Quartet and Florence Millet

Pianist Florence Millet and the JACK Quartet will perform in Hall One at the Westspitze for the first time as part of the Contemporary Concerts Tübingen series. To mark the 100th anniversary of Morton Feldman's birth, they will present four special works by Bunita Marcus and Feldman.

At the heart of the program is Feldman's late masterpiece , Piano and String Quartet (1985), which the composer, who died in 1987, described as "a favorite piece in my whole life," adding, "It has everything I ever wanted." This 80-minute piano quintet fills the entire second half of the concert. In the first half, Feldman's short duo, Vertical Thoughts 2 (1963), for violin and piano, is framed by two pieces by his student Bunita Marcus, Sugar Cubes (1996) for piano and Untrammeled Thought (1980) for cello and piano.

Program:
Bunita Marcus, Sugar Cubes (1996) for piano
Morton Feldman, Vertical Thoughts 2 (1963) for violin and piano
Bunita Marcus, Untrammeled Thought (1980) for cello and piano
Morton Feldman, Piano and String Quartet (1985)
