Kronos Quartet

Kronos Quartet spotlights music from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, and Libya—seven predominantly Muslim nations that have figured prominently in current events. Joining Kronos will be Mahsa Vahdat, Iranian vocalist and advocate for freedom of expression. “My goal for Kronos has always been to be a revolutionary force,” says Kronos Artistic Director David Harrington, “not just in making music, but in exploring the ways that music can increase our understanding of our times and our connection to people around the world.”
