Summary
Composer-vocalist Caroline Shaw joins the Attacca Quartet at Milton Court to perform her own works alongside the UK premiere of John Adams’s Iron Jig and Mendelssohn’s Second String Quintet.
Why it's fantastic
Pulitzer winner Caroline Shaw joins forces with this nimble quartet to perform her own rhythmically inventive songs alongside a brand new John Adams premiere. The evening concludes with Mendelssohn’s late quintet, a piece written just before his death that offers a vigorous, symphonic energy rarely heard in chamber music.
