Attacca Quartet: Dowland, Glass & Pärt
The American ensemble performs music from across the ages, including Renaissance music and work from modern minimalist luminaries Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt.
About this event
Winner of two Grammys, the Attacca Quartet brings music from its album Of All Joys (2021) to life.
The ancient worlds of Jacobus Clemens Non Papa and the master musician of Elizabethan England, John Dowland, meet the modern minimalists Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt across the centuries.
Hypnotic, introspective and heartfelt, the programme includes Dowland’s lute song ‘Flow my tears’ (1596) and Pärt’s streamlined ‘Fratres’ (1977) and builds emotional affinities between their contrasting worlds.
The concert culminates with Glass’ String Quartet No.3, based on his film score for the 1985 Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, which dramatises the life of the Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima.
