Event Info: 

  The second in a series of three concerts featuring the two-time Grammy(R) Award-winning Attacca Quartet, a true quartet for modern times. Gliding through traditional classical repertoire to electronica, video game music, and a who's who of contemporary collaborations, they are one of the world's most innovative and respected ensembles.

The Quartet pairs up with highly acclaimed multi-Grammy(R) nominated vocalist Theo Bleckmann for this performance.

Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang has combined and reimagined three texts by iconic Japanese novelist Ryunosuke Akutagawa (Rashomon) in note to a friend. Originally commissioned as a one-person opera by the Japan Society in New York and the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan center in Japan, this haunting monodrama addresses eternal human fascinations with death, love, family, and suicide.
