Since its founding 50 years ago, the peerless Kronos Quartet has revolutionized what a string quartet can be. Through collaborations with musicians and composers across the globe, robust commissioning initiatives, pace-setting educational programs, and just plain stellar musicianship, Kronos has made concert music relevant and responsive to the people and issues of our time.

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.
