Work: String Quartet no. 1

"Carta Blanca" brings John Adams and the Attacca Quartet to Madrid. John's Book of Alleged Dances and String Quartet are played, alongside Beethoven's String Quartet in F major, Op.18 no.1.

(Le) Poisson Rouge is always an exciting venue for classical music, but to have John Adams in the house Tuesday night was a real treat.The Attacca Quartet, comprised of violinists Amy Schroeder and Keiko Tokunaga, violist Luke Fleming and cellist Andrew Yee, began the concert with absolutely no pretenses.
