Kronos Quartet Plays Terry Riley: Salome Dances for Peace
“A vast, eclectic, wonderful tapestry of musics… the Kronos members play it with enormous panache—hardly surprising, considering their long and close association with Riley`s music; their technical and musical mastery simply disarms criticism.”

Forgive Us For
Forgive Us For reaffirms the urgency of Kronos Quartet’s search for music that speaks unflinchingly to the human condition in all its light and darkness, hope and despair, truth and illusion. This search has led Kronos far from the string quartet’s roots in Mitteleuropa to places like Iceland, Palestine, and Ukraine—the homelands, respectively, of Hildur Guðnadóttir (b. 1982), Rim Banna (1966–2018), and Mariana Sadovska (b. 1972).
Kronos is equally prolific and wide-ranging on recordings, topping Billboard’s Classical & World Music lists and winning Grammy Awards.
The quartet tours extensively each year, appearing in the world’s most prestigious concert halls, clubs, and festivals. Watch their videos today.
