Kronos Quartet: Open Rehearsal & Sculptural Instrument Exhibit | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The singular Kronos Quartet, a string quartet known for their avant-garde contemporary classical music, is joined by Mary Kouyoumdjian, recipient of the most recent Kronos: Under 30 Project commission, for an open rehearsal at the Center for New Music.

A New York City resident, Kouyoumdjian was chosen from a call for composers that yielded nearly 400 applicants in 43 countries on five continents, the largest response in the program’s history. Launched in 2003, the Under 30 Project is designed to help nurture the careers of young artists, while enabling Kronos to forge stronger connections with the next creative generation.

With this event, the quartet will also be celebrating the installation of Kronos at 40: Instruments from the Collection. This exhibit, on display in the Window Gallery from January 7 through February 28, features large sculptural instruments that were created for Kronos by Walter Kitundu, Victor Gama and others.
