New Music with Jack Quartet

Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival

AMOC* presents Anthony Cheung’s the echoing of tenses, a large-scale song cycle for tenor, violin, piano/keyboard, and pre-recorded sounds, that sets the texts of seven prominent, intergenerational Asian-American poets. These poets perform their words live within the production, sharing reflections on memory, cultural and personal identity, family, migration, and loss. the echoing of tenses was conceived for the company by AMOC* violinist Miranda Cuckson and serves as the epic conclusion to the Run AMOC* Festival at Lincoln Center, the American Modern Opera Company’s most significant artistic endeavor to date with a bold slate of opera, dance, and music.

The Grammy-winning Parker Quartet (“something extraordinary,” New York Times) leads a Beethoven-based program that includes a work by Beethoven’s teacher, Haydn; three short works inspired by Beethoven’s Quartets, by Suzanne Farrin, Anthony Cheung, and Michi Wiancko (also heard at the Festival as violinist); and Beethoven’s monumental String Quartet, op. 130 (with the epic Grosse Fuge). The Parker Quartet illuminates Beethoven’s quartet with an engaging verbal introduction to the work.

First Presbyterian Church

A new song cycle, the echoing of tenses, commissioned by the Ojai Festival from Anthony Cheung, sets poetry by Asian-American writers interconnected by the larger theme of memory, made complicated by the circumstances and tensions of cultural and personal identity, family, migration, loss, and reflection. The various poems by Arthur Sze, Monica Youn, Jenny Xie, Ocean Vuong, and others, will be sung, spoken, and interwoven throughout. The work features Paul Appleby, Miranda Cuckson, and Anthony Cheung, and a score that mixes live performance with pre-recorded sound design, in collaboration with David Bird.

Among the most nimble ensembles in contemporary music today, the adventurous JACK Quartet visits with a kaleidoscopic program of new and recent works by living composers. The group is known for the fierce commitment and virtuosity it brings to a range of innovative and idiosyncratic repertoire—in a landscape where each piece and each composer challenges the players with novel techniques, sounds, and approaches to their music making.
