Program 3 features works by some of Kronos’ longtime collaborators, including Terry Riley, Mary Kouyoumdjian, and Trey Spruance, as well as performances with Mahsa Vahdat and the San Francisco Girls Chorus conducted by Valérie Sainte-Agathe. The program includes selections from Spruance's The Black Art Book of St. Cyprian the Mage, as well as the world premiere of a new work by Mary Kouyoumdjian that explores what and who is left when something, or someone we love, is lost, both commissioned in celebration of KRONOS Five Decades. Iranian singer Vahdat takes the stage for a set featuring I Will Be Your Voice, and Kronos performs two world premieres from the Luna Composition Lab Fellows.
The KRONOS FIVE DECADES anniversary season comes home to San Francisco in a four-day festival showcasing Kronos Quartet and a host of special guests, featuring world premieres and the final Kronos performances by violinist John Sherba and violist Hank Dutt.
Kronos has led and continues to lead what surely must be the longest unending revolution by any ensemble ever in music history.
