The widely celebrated JACK Quartet has maintained an unwavering commitment to its mission of performing and commissioning new works, giving voice to underheard composers, and cultivating an ever-greater sense of openness toward contemporary classical music.
It is the quartet-in-residence at the Mannes School of Music, and hosts the JACK Frontiers Festival, a multi-faceted festival of contemporary music for string quartet. The members of the quartet also regularly teach at New Music On the Point and the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, as well as at the University of Iowa String Quartet Residency Program and the Lucerne Festival Academy, of which they are all alumni.
The quartet was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in 2022 for John Luther Adams’ Lines Made by Walking (Cold Blue Music) and for Alkaline from the concept album Imaginist (Panoramic Recordings) with the Le Boeuf Brothers in 2018.
