Kronos Quartet

Kronos Quartet

Presented by Saffron Hall

The Kronos Quartet.

Steve Reich uses taped reminiscences from survivors of WWII and their profoundly contrasting war-time rail journeys – both in Europe and America – in his iconic work Different Trains played here by Kronos, the legendary string quartet who commissioned and premiered it nearly 30 years ago.

This bold and dazzling concert also includes a thrilling commission based on music from Mali, a new work by Martin Green from folk group Lau, music by Laurie Anderson and Terry Riley, and an arrangement of Pete Townshend’s (The Who) Baba O’Riley. Kronos – breaking boundaries with fresh ears!

Listen to Kronos performing works by Fodé Lassana Diabaté here

This concert will finish at approximately 9.30pm
