Kronos Quartet’s ongoing residency at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center includes working closely with composition students in the UMD School of Music.

For the fourth consecutive year, Kronos Quartet will partner with School of Music composition students to write new works for string quartet, mentoring the students through the composition process. Kronos will perform the completed compositions in a free public performance.
