"No string quartet has ever been so popular or has had so wide an audience, globally, and culturally" (Los Angeles Times). The trailblazing Kronos Quartet continues to rewrite the rules of the string quartet, proving time and again the urgent relevance of the beloved art form. Experience the quartet"s virtuosity and adventuresome spirit in a program that features music by Sun Ra reimagined by Terry Riley and Sara Miyamoto in collaboration with Kronos; a new piece by Norwegian artists Benedicte Maurseth and Kristine Tjøgersen (with Maurseth and Kronos joining forces on Hardanger fiddles); new works by Aleksandra Vrebalov and Viet Cuong; and arrangements of indelible songs by Nina Simone and Neil Young.
