CartJUN 22-24 | KRONOS FESTIVAL 2023
Jun 24, 2023
Miner Auditorium
Featuring compositions by Aftab Darvishi, Garth Knox, Terry Riley, Tanya Tagaq, Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté, and Wu Man.
All aboard! Kronos Quartet leads a musical world tour for kids and families. Featuring live performances and a kids’ Q&A with the quartet, the program will sample short works from the globe-spanning Kronos Fifty for the Future repertoire, with “tour stops” in the composers’ home nations of Canada, China, Iran, Ireland, Mali, and back in the U.S.A.
For 50 years, San Francisco’s Grammy-winning Kronos Quartet has reimagined and redefined the string quartet experience. This year’s annual festival highlights works from the landmark Kronos Fifty for the Future commissioning and legacy project.
The Kronos life journey [has become] a relentless endeavor to open up the world’s music for everyone. If the conventional assemblage of two violins, viola and cello can be expanded, listeners will develop a richer musical perspective.
