"The Kronos Quartet has broken the boundaries of what string quartets do.” (The New York Times) This renowned new music ensemble, an early Penn Live Arts favorite, celebrates composer and longtime collaborator Terry Riley’s upcoming 90th birthday. Paired with some of the quartet’s newest commissions, the program features several of the 30 works that Riley has written for the group, including The Gift, This Assortment of Atoms – One Time Only! and One Earth, One People, One Love. With thousands of concerts performed worldwide, Kronos Quartet amply demonstrates that it is “the most far-ranging ensemble geographically, nationally and stylistically the world has known.” (The Los Angeles Times)
