Program includes music by Bob Dylan and Nicole Lizee
The Grammy award-winning Kronos Quartet is marking 50 years of giving a global and contemporary sound to classical European music with celebratory events, including a free concert in San Francisco, the group’s hometown.
While rooted in classical string-quartet traditions, Kronos — Harrington , John Sherba , Hank Dutt , and Paul Wiancko — performs music that is literally all over the map in terms of genre and origin. String quartets — two violins, one viola, one cello — date back to the 1760s, when Joseph Haydn created the format in Vienna. Mozart and Schubert also are known for the music they composed for string quartets.
The inspiration came from a piece of music — “Black Angels,” by avant-garde composer George Crumb. Harrington had never heard anything like it.
