Featuring compositions by Rafiq Bhatia, Barry Guy, Jlin, Nicole Lizée, Lu Yun, Terry Riley, Trey Spruance, Tanya Tagaq, and Aleksandra Vrebalov.

Kronos Festival continues with much more from the Kronos Fifty for the Future repertoire, expanding the compositional canvas with several longer-form works. Guest artists include guitarist and composer Rafiq Bhatia, joining Kronos for his work Glimmers; SF-based sound artist, experimental music performer, and instrument-maker Victoria Shen; and, in their second Festival appearance, San Francisco’s eclectic and exciting Friction Quartet.

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.

Champion of contemporary and multi-genre repertoire, the Kronos Quartet has been breaking barriers for almost 50 years since its formation in 1973.
