The American Attacca Quartet is the embodiment of the contemporary string quartet: diverse in composition, surprising in repertoire and program choices and groundbreaking in collaborations and performances. In Amsterdam, the musicians will play the Dutch premiere of David Lang’s daisy, co-commissioned by the String Quartet Biennale. They pair the newcomer with more music from their own country and introduce the contemporary sounds with music from the Renaissance.
For David Lang’s composition commission daisy, the String Quartet Biennale is collaborating with La Biennale di Venezia, where the piece was premiered in late 2024. The piece was written to be performed in a program with Black Angels by George Crumb. For Lang, Black Angels is a favorite work and, in his opinion, one of the best contemporary quartets. Lang was inspired by the time around the Vietnam War, which also motivated Crumb.
*Co-commission with La Biennale di Venezia
