Count on an awesome musical experience with this world-renowned, Grammy Award-winning ensemble. Combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to expanding the range and context of the string quartet, Kronos performs an eclectic multicultural program of pieces from their diverse repertoire, including new works from their current critically acclaimed recording Floodplain.
“Kronos proved that the string quartet, long the most self-consciously “classical” of the classical ensembles, could become a kind of all-terrain vehicle in contemporary culture.” – The New Yorker
