8th May.
The New York Kronos Quartet, famous for its lively performances and daring repertoire for 50 years, is coming to Utrecht at the invitation of TivoliVredenburg and the Music Meeting Festival Nijmegen. The string quartet – one of the best known in the contemporary music world – combines commissions from both young and established composers. This time with music by Sun Ra, Terry Riley and a commissioned composition to the up-and-coming Saskia Venegas Aernouts, composer in residence of the Music Meeting. Her work gives voice to the dangers of the loss of empathy, a people in mourning and the repetition of history. This high-profile quartet once again presents impressive works that will stay with you for a long time.
This concert is a collaboration with Music Meeting Festival. The world premiere Through their eyes has been made possible by the ‘New Makers’ scheme of the Performing Arts Fund NL.
