Kronos Quartet has been shaping the global music landscape since 1973 with its dedication to creating, performing, and promoting music from a global perspective. The quartet, comprising David Harrington (violin), Gabriela Díaz (violin), Ayane Kozasa (viola), and Paul Wiancko (cello), has amassed a remarkable legacy through its fearless exploration and continual reimagining of the string quartet experience.
With a portfolio of over 70 recordings and collaboration with renowned composers and performers, Kronos has established itself as one of the most influential musical groups of our time. The group has performed thousands of concerts worldwide and commissioned over 1,000 works and arrangements for string quartet as part of its mission to enhance the artistic and cultural experience.
Last November, the GRAMMY Museum made a $12.50K grant investment in Kronos, further solidifying the quartet's presence and impact in the music scene. As a not-for-profit organization, Kronos remains committed to its diverse programmatic initiatives, including commissioning, performing, presenting, recording, archiving, teaching, and mentoring, to enrich the global musical ecosystem.
Kronos' dedication to fostering the next generations of artists and audiences showcases its indispensable role in shaping the future of music through innovative and inclusive initiatives.
