Praised for its "extraordinary precision" by the Boston Globe, the JACK Quartet has established a reputation for high-energy performances of today's most demanding works for string quartet. The New York Times called the quartet's performance of Xenakis's complete string quartets one of the "most memorable classical music presentations of 2008," and in 2009 the quartet received an ASCAP/Chamber Music America Award for Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music. The group has performed at Carnegie Hall, La Biennale di Venezia, the Lucerne Festival, the Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik, and the Festival Internacional Chihuahua.
