Sitka Premiere of John Luther Adams’s Never and Always Becoming

Experience the Sitka premiere of John Luther Adams’ newest composition, Never and Always Becoming, performed by JACK Quartet.

John Luther Adams, a composer deeply inspired by the landscapes of Alaska, lived in the state from 1978 to 2014 and was a member of the percussion section of the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra.

With the resonant acoustics of Odess Theater, this program promises to be a transformative experience—pushing the boundaries of the string quartet repertoire and immersing audiences in the meditative, evolving soundscapes of Adams, Cage, and Glass.

Program:
John Luther Adams, Never and Always Becoming (String Quartet No. 9) – Sitka Premiere
John Cage, Music in Four Parts
Philip Glass, String Quartet No. 5
