JACK Quartet Plays John Zorn at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn
In this CD release concert, JACK quartet proudly announces the long-awaited release of their 2 CD set of the complete string quartets of John Zorn. This exciting evening features two of Zorn’s greatest masterworks—Memento Mori (with Ikue Mori as a guest soloist) and the challenging Necronomicon—marking his triumphant return to the string quartet medium after a 10 year hiatus. Memento Mori is one of Zorn’s most personal creations—a unique, hermetic work filled with hidden messages, deep lyricism, microtones, noise, and fleeting references to Alban Berg’s Lyric Suite. Composed in 1992 and dedicated to Ikue Mori, the piece takes you on a surreal journey unlike any other. For this special performance, dedicatee Ikue Mori will improvise her signature live electronics along to JACK Quartet’s dynamic interpretation of this vexing and emotional work. Necronomicon is in five movements, and draws upon hermeticism, alchemy, magick, mysticism, and more.
