The string quartet may be a 250-year-old contraption, but young, brilliant groups like the JACK Quartet are keeping it thrillingly vital. Described as “superheroes of the new music world” (The Boston Globe), New York based JACK have toured the world, collecting countless awards on their travels.



The JACK’s performances are considered amongst the most stimulating new-music concerts around; fearless, explosive, virtuosic, and ground-breaking.



Comprising violinists Christopher Otto and Austin Wulliman, violist John Pickford Richards, and cellist Kevin McFarland, JACK is focused on the commissioning, performance, and spread of new string quartet music. We are delighted to welcome back JACK as they perform at this year’s Tempered before embarking on an Irish tour.
