Waves and Particles is Pulitzer- and Grammy-winning composer John Luther Adams's beautifully shimmery, virtuosic string quartet, performed by the incredible, illustrious JACK Quartet. Adams's music has been performed by such prominent ensembles as the New York Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Seattle Symphony, and the International Contemporary Ensemble. JACK?Quartet has been deemed "superheroes of the new music world" (Boston Globe) and "the go-to quartet for contemporary music, tying impeccable musicianship to intellectual ferocity" (The Washington Post).

"John Luther Adams... one of the most original musical thinkers of the new century." -Alex Ross, The New Yorker

"His music becomes more than a metaphor for natural forces: it is an elemental experience in it's own right." -Tom Service, The Guardian

"His music perfectly echoes the landscape he loves: impersonal, relentless, larger than human scale, yet gorgeous, a quiet chaos of colors, suffused with light." -Kyle Gann, Chamber Music Magazine
