Performer Information

Few ensembles in contemporary classical music have left as indelible a mark as Kronos Quartet. Formed in 1973 in Seattle by violinist David Harrington, the group set the stage for what the Kronos Quartet tour would become — a globe-spanning platform for boundary-pushing chamber music. From their early years, they drew acclaim for commissioning new works and collaborating across genres, bringing fresh energy to the string quartet tradition. Landmark recordings like Black Angels and Pieces of Africa helped cement their reputation for adventurous programming and global reach.

Their accolades match their impact. Kronos Quartet has earned a Grammy Award (with multiple nominations), the prestigious Polar Music Prize (2011), and the Avery Fisher Prize (2011). They were named Musical America’s Ensemble of the Year in 2003 and continue to inspire cross-generational audiences through innovative projects that expand the repertoire and redefine what a string quartet can be.
