JACK Quartet and Cy Twombly Concert

THE MORGAN PRESENTS A SYNTHESIS OF ART AND MUSIC FEATURING THE JACK QUARTET AND CY TWOMBLY’S TREATISE ON THE VEIL (SECOND VERSION)

Press release date

To coincide with the exhibition Cy Twombly: Treatise on the Veil, the Morgan Library & Museum presents a concert by the dynamic JACK Quartet on Thursday, November 20, 7 PM and 9 PM,  showcasing a selection of compositions from Matthias Pintscher’s Studies for Treatise on the Veil (2004–2009). Pintscher’s scores were written in response to Twombly’s painting, and the JACK’s performance at the Morgan offers a special, one-time-only opportunity to bring the painting and the music together in the exhibition gallery. New arrangements of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo for string quartet will also be performed by the JACK.
