In May, “Kronos Quartet” visits “Hanza Peron” with the same concert in the Baltic States.

“Kronos Quartet” creates their music for the world and answers important questions of the moment by interacting directly with it, and thus has been “breaking the boundaries of what string quartets do doing”, as aptly mentioned by the media “The New York Times“.

Thousands of performances around the world, dozens of released albums, countless collaborations with elite musicians, composers and other performers of various genres and about a thousand commissioned works and arrangements – the brightest, but only a few records in the creative biography of the quartet. .

In fact, more than 40 awards, including Polar Music, Avery Fisher Award and Edison’s Classical Oeuvre awards – some of the highest honors in music, as well as three gramophones with a golden gramophone for the best performance of chamber music in 2004, for the best performance of a small ensemble (beating themselves in the year that, beating Alban Berg’s recording of Pēter Vaska’s String Quartet for the Fourth String Quartet), with Lori Anderson recording her 2018 album Landas well as the Best Sound Guide, releasing the work of the quartet’s closest friend and contemporary, Terry Riley Solar circles four years ago.

The leader of the quartet, David Harrington, explains about his life’s mission: “My devotion is to try to create music that embraces us all like arms.” In a small talk with musicologist and program manager of Latvian Radio 3 “Klasika” Dāvi EnĖeli six years ago, he is pictured:

“I would like to find music that protects the children, the people who will live here in the future. Music from bulletproof. I would like that. We have not found such music yet. One that could, for example, surround my grandchildren and protect them from danger.

But I have not given up on this research because I believe that such music exists in this universe. If we focus and don’t stop looking for it.

I really want to find music that is powerful enough to make violent people stop being violent.”

Today, we need music like this, artists like that and they mean the most to the world.

Tickets for “Kronos Quartet” concert “Hanza platform” on May 13, 2025 from Tuesday, November 12, are available at “Bilešu Paradīze” in the trading network.
