For 45 years, San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet has pursued a singular artistic vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagine the string quartet experience. One of the world’s most celebrated and influential ensembles, the Grammy Award-winning group is known for pushing boundaries and genres, including contemporary classical music but also having touched upon experimental music, film soundtracks, electronic, pop, jazz, tango and Mexican folk.
The ensemble has performed thousands of concerts, released more than 60 recordings, and collaborated with many of the world’s most accomplished composers and performers. The quartet returns to Transylvania for the 2020 Smith Concert after kicking off the yearly series in 2007. Tickets are free, but reservations will be required. Click here to register for tickets.
