KALW 75th Anniversary Concert
Kronos Quartet and Bruce Cockburn
more info
In 1941, KALW went on the air as San Francisco's first FM radio station – and for 75 years, it has amplified the music and creativity of the Bay Area.
KALW in San Francisco is found on the radio at 91.7 FM and online at http://www.kalw.org .
For more than 40 years, the Kronos Quartet—David Harrington (violin), John Sherba (violin), Hank Dutt (viola), and Sunny Yang (cello)—has pursued a singular artistic vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually re-imagining the string quartet experience. One of the most celebrated and influential groups of our time, Kronos has collaborated with many of the world's most accomplished composers and performers, and commissioned more than 850 works and arrangements for string quartet.
Bruce Cockburn has enjoyed an illustrious career shaped by politics, spirituality, and musical diversity. His remarkable journey has seen him embrace folk, jazz, rock, and worldbeat styles while travelling to such far-flung places as Guatemala, Mali, Mozambique, and Nepal. "My job," he explains, "is to try and trap the spirit of things in the scratches of pen on paper and the pulling of notes out of metal."
