Kronos Quartet | Concert on the Lawn
Renowned for its fearless exploration, the Kronos Quartet presents a program of works drawn from its 50 for the Future project, in which the group has commissioned pieces from 50 composers from diverse backgrounds. This accessible, free online library provides a younger generation of string players with the tools to master techniques needed to perform contemporary repertoire.
Please bring your own seating for this concert, as it takes place on our grassy Friends Field. You can even bring or purchase a picnic dinner!
