In the process, Kronos has become one of the world’s most celebrated and influential ensembles, performing thousands of concerts, releasing more than 60 recordings, collaborating with an eclectic mix of composers and performers, and commissioning over 1000 works and arrangements for string quartet. Come witness their brilliance live, with community in this extraordinary opportunity to see them in the intimate Hoytt Theater.
