Time is how you spend your love
Time is how you spend your love
Percussionist DOMNIQ, composer Samuel Adams, and the Marmen Quartet explore how time and space find their place within a concert for string quartet and percussion.
COMING IN JANUARY 2026
STRING QUARTET | PERCUSSION | ELECTRONICS
Our lives are shaped by time, but how much of it do we truly devote to the things we love? In Time is how you spend your love, DOMNIQ joins composer Samuel Adams and the Marmen Quartet to explore how time and space influence our passions. The program offers a wide-ranging journey through music, from core repertoire for string quartet and solo percussion to unexpected collaborations between the two.
At the heart of Time is how you spend your love lies Adams’ Sundial, a work that paints a dreamlike landscape, enriched by dynamic lighting design and the spatial placement of sound. And when Beethoven repeats the same tiny motif no fewer than 48 times in the Scherzo of his Sixteenth String Quartet, it becomes clear that he, too, was a master of playing with time.
