Known for its extraordinary breadth of musicianship and restless
creative spirit, Kronos Quartet can always be counted on to set its
dynamic ensemble playing against the backdrop of human experience. A
Meditation on the Great War, a collaboration with Iraq war
veteran-turned-visual artist Drew Cameron of the Combat Paper Project,
commemorates the centennial of the outbreak of World War I with a new
multimedia work exploring history and its haunting of the present: a
newly commissioned score by composer Aleksandra Vrebalov inspired by
anti-war narratives of that era, and new film by Bill Morrison that
draws from archival WWI footage. Kronos, now celebrating its 40th
anniversary, is an incubator of ideas, always ready to ask us to
reflect on our role in world events, and the history we are all
creating.
