Extract

In October 2012, Hurricane Sandy prevented the New York-based JACK quartet from crossing the Atlantic to join forces with the Arditti Quartet in the UK première of James Clarke's 2012-S. So the belated first performance within these shores of Clarke's new piece for two string quartets, which took place at a Wigmore Hall recital on 6 May 2013, had been much anticipated.
