"The Kronos players are masters of multimedia." —Allan Kozinn, The New York Times

"The Kronos Quartet's 'Visual Music' program … was uncomplicated, direct, heart-on-sleeve. Three of the 10 works played consecutively asserted an antiwar, world-peace message, and fourth—through pure music —rose to the fervor of an anthem." —Chris Pasles, Los Angeles Times

"A concert by the Kronos Quartet is always an involving experience, but even longtime fans had to be amazed by the enveloping sensory input of the legendary string ensemble's latest venture, 'Visual Music.' … [A] dazzling 90-minute performance incorporating video, lighting, pre-recorded sound and musical 'sculpture'—all integrated with the same seamless brilliance audiences have come to expect from these estimable musicians."—Georgia Rowe, Contra Costa Times

"The concert folded 10 diverse pieces into a seamless 90-minute multimedia production. … [The] precise staging, the committed playing and true integration of aural and visual elements left a lasting impression. … The concert bristled with adventure and relevance." —Mark Styker, Detroit Free Press

"For sheer visual ingenuity, ['Visual Music'] could hardly have been bettered. Each of ten pieces of was presented in a different scenic context, all of them very high-tech. This was the Kronos doing what they do best: mixing up genres and arriving at something new and entrancing." —Richard Morrison, The Times ( UK)

"For years there has been talk about the disappearance of boundaries between art disciplines and look: the Kronos Quartet bombards the interaction between sound and image as the subject of this performance." —Saskia Törnqvist, Het Parool

"The musical program is like a 'best of' for Kronos: Reich, Nancarrow, Riley, or Penderecki. But the music designers … Mark Grey and his team, outdid themselves by playing a screen in four panels on top of which they added the filmic projections." —Jacques Doucelin, Le Figaro
