The Eclipse Quartet is an exciting new music ensemble dedicated to the music of present day composers, and to creating music in improvisational settings. This quartet is made up of four women with strong backgrounds in international and national chamber music performance, new music, and recording. Their combined experience represents a wide range of musical styles and collaborations.
The first half of the concert The Eclipse Quartet will present string quartets by New York composers John Zorn and John King. The second half will be an improvisational collaboration as the quartet plugs in to play music by Jeff Gauthier, and to improvise with Gauthier on electric violin, and David Witham on electronics and keyboards. Together these musicians will create spontaneously composed music inspired by the amazing neon art on display at MONA.
