Kronos Quartet returns to the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, America’s longest-running festival of new orchestral music, which celebrates its 61st season July 30 – August 13, 2023.

The San Francisco-based, Grammy-winning Kronos Quartet—David Harrington – violin, John Sherba – violin, Hank Dutt – viola, and Paul Wiancko – cello—are the special guests for tonight’s concert. For nearly five decades Kronos Quartet has challenged and reimagined what a string quartet can be. Kronos is one of the most celebrated and influential groups of our era, performing thousands of concerts worldwide, releasing more than 70 recordings of extraordinary breadth and creativity, and collaborating with many of the world’s most accomplished composers and performers. Through its nonprofit organization, Kronos Performing Arts Association, Kronos has commissioned more than 1,000 works and arrangements for string quartet—including the recently completed Fifty for the Future library of free, educational repertoire.
