   About Kronos Quartet
         RECORDS    l    CONCERTS    l    MAILING LIST      

For more than 30 years, San Francisco's Kronos Quartet—David Harrington, John Sherba (violins), Hank Dutt (viola) and Jeffrey Zeigler (cello)—has pursued a singular artistic vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to expanding the range and context of the string quartet. In the process, Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and influential ensembles of our time, performing thousands of concerts worldwide, releasing more than 45 recordings of extraordinary breadth and commissioning more than 600 new works and arrangements for string quartet. Kronos' work has also garnered numerous awards, including a Grammy for Best Chamber Music Performance (2004) and "Musicians of the Year" (2003) from Musical America.

Kronos' adventurous, eclectic repertoire encompasses works by 20th-century masters (Bartók, Shostakovich, Webern), contemporary composers (Aleksandra Vrebalov, John Adams, Alfred Schnittke), jazz legends (Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk), and artists from even farther afield (rock guitar hero Jimi Hendrix, Azeri vocalist Alim Qasimov, and avant-garde saxophonist John Zorn). Integral to Kronos' work is a series of long-running, in-depth collaborations with many of the world's foremost composers, including Americans Terry Riley, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich; Azerbaijan's Franghiz Ali-Zadeh; Poland's Henryk Górecki, and Argentina's Osvaldo Golijov. Additional collaborators from around the world have included Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man; the legendary Bollywood "playback singer" Asha Bhosle; the renowned American soprano Dawn Upshaw; Mexican rockers Café Tacuba; the Romanian gypsy band Taraf de Haïdouks; and Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq.

The Quartet spends five months of each year on tour, appearing in the world's most prestigious concert halls, clubs, and festivals. Kronos is equally prolific on CD, with a discography on Nonesuch Records including Pieces of Africa (1992), a showcase of African-born composers that simultaneously topped Billboard’s Classical and World Music lists; Nuevo (2002), a Grammy- and Latin Grammy–nominated celebration of Mexican culture; and the 2003 Grammy-winner, Alban Berg’s Lyric Suite. www.StatCounter.com/myspace/ - Free myspace Profile Counter

Salve Kronos Quartet, parabéns pelo seu belo trabalho.

A música Lei de Murphy venceu o Festival de Santa Maria. Ela foi interpretada
pela Carol Voigt, gostaria que visitasse myspace.com/srtavoigt e desse
"aquela força" para ela. Ouça ainda a "Matin Ensoleillé" com accordeon.

Muito obrigado, grande abraços e sucessos sempre!

In the magicalities of a could,

Between the  probabilities of a would,

Beyond the trivialities of a should,

In these ungraspable  mysticalities

There lies a secret a passage…

To this extraordinary wood.

 

But for you, it unfolds easily and true

And the only thing you have to do

Is press play, and you’ll have a view.

Hello!

We proudly present our last short movie shooted and directed by the Vidio.Atak!

An army of beauties, crazy druid, strong males, head-banging transvestites, bizarre drug, sexy princess and a big buckett of blood for a shamanic rock’n'roll ceremony hidden behind a free-fight competition leads to massacre.



here is a Vimeo version:


Enjoy!
