We're very excited about working with the Kronos Quartet to promote their upcoming Perspectives series concerts at Carnegie Hall, March 11 - 21, 2010. Their residency encompasses four fascinating concert programs featuring two World, one U.S., and six New York premieres. They will also mentor three lucky emerging quartets, who will give a recital of their own on March 21. 

The March 11 opening concert includes the world premiere of a new piece by Terry Riley -- his 26th for the group! -- written to mark the composer's 75th birthday and his 30th anniversary of working with Kronos. Collaborations with musicians from around the globe; pieces by established masters and new voices; adventures in sound, experiments in style...it's Kronos's world. We just live in it! Here's the group in a driving arrangement of a traditional Iraqi song, Oh Mother, the Handsome Man Tortures Me.
