JACK Quartet performs George Friedrich Haas’ visionary Third String Quartet—designed to be experienced in total darkness. As Haas wrote about this work, “The outline of one’s hand will ideally not be visible even when directly in front of their face. The darkness is absolute, and the effect is disorienting: an audience member feels they have become absorbed in a level of blackness with no visual cues to demarcate the size and shape of the space or their relation to it.” JACK Quartet, the foremost interpreters of Haas’ work, surround the audience in this unique performance of his String Quartet No. 3,  “in iij Noct.” Part of the Body and Sound festival organized by LA Phil Insight and Liquid Music, this performance uniquely considers how senses shape perception of music in an unconventional concert experience in total darkness.

Expect creative sparks to fly as period instruments are joined with percussion for virtuosic arrangements of music spanning nearly 600 years – by JS Bach, Geminiani, Xenakis, Weiss and others – all presented with the trademark energy and effervescence for which both artists are renowned.
