| Classical music hasn’t sounded the same since Kronos Quartet emerged onto the scene 50 years ago. The quartet has always pursued a singular vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagine the string quartet experience which has reshaped contemporary chamber music and broken-down barriers between genres. Kronos has performed thousands of concerts worldwide, released more than 70 recordings of extraordinary breadth and creativity, collaborated with many of the world’s most accomplished composers and performers, and commissioned more than a thousand works and arrangements for string quartet. To celebrate five decades of sound that changed the world, the Grammy Award-winning group will perform a carefully curated selection of its trailblazing work, spanning brand new works and signature pieces from composers around the world. The 50th anniversary tour marks the debut of Kronos Quartet’s recently appointed cellist Paul Wiancko, performing alongside founder and violinist David Harrington, and longtime members John Sherba (violin) and Hank Dutt (viola). Don’t miss these masters of avant-classical in the performance of a lifetime.
