<DIV><A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://arts.mit.edu/artists/flux-quartet/" REL="nofollow">FLUX Quartet</A><SPAN> will perform the long-awaited Boston premiere of Morton Feldman’s epic six-hour uninterrupted </SPAN><I>String Quartet No. 2</I><SPAN> at MIT on February 28. FLUX was the first group to undertake this late 20th-century masterwork of sustained, quiet intensity, developing new performance techniques to deal with the piece’s extremes of stamina and concentration. They have since made the work one of their trademarks, with critic Alex Ross describing their performance as “a disorienting, transfixing experience that repeatedly approached and touched the sublime.” Violinist Tom Chiu founded FLUX Quartet in the late ‘90s, cultivating an uncompromising repertoire that follows neither fashions nor trends, but rather combines yesterday’s seminal trailblazers with tomorrow’s new voices. </SPAN></DIV>
