Upcoming Events

With performances of more than a thousand newly commissioned works, groundbreaking collaborations with artists from many other disciplines, and a strong commitment to nurturing new generations of musicians, the Kronos Quartet has redefined the role of the string quartet for the late 20th and 21st centuries. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the ensemble now comes to Berlin’s Pierre Boulez Saal for three very special events.

Crumb’s Black Angels concludes the second program, which presents a small sampling of the many compositions written for the Kronos Quartet over the past five decades.

Franghiz Ali-Zadeh / Mugam Sayagi*

Sofia Gubaidulina / String Quartet No. 4
