KRONOS QUARTET

Having just celebrated its 50th anniversary, Kronos Quartet marks its triumphant return to the Chan Centre since its sold-out concert in 2013.

The innovative group has “broken the boundaries of what string quartets do” (The New York Times) over its five decades of performing. With over 1,100 commissioned works and 70 albums to its name, the prolific quartet has been recognized with more than 40 awards, including three Grammys. Kronos has been at the cutting edge of what this centuries-old artform can do, collaborating with illustrious artists like tabla master Zakir Hussain, genre-defying musician Rhiannon Giddens, rock band Nine Inch Nails, and composers such as Tanya Tagaq and Philip Glass.
