The New York Times calls the JACK Quartet "our leading new-music foursome." Its original four members became acquainted at the Lucerne Festival Academy, and the JACKs have been closely associated with the Festival ever since, regularly returning to Lucerne as guests and coaches. The Quartet is especially dedicated to new music, about which it has much to say.
