For more than 30 years, the now legendary Kronos Quartet 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 groups of our time, performing thousands of concerts worldwide, releasing more than 40 recordings of extraordinary breadth and creativity, and commissioning hundreds of 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.

"String quartets were a dying breed. Along came Kronos… the world's most successful chamber group. Kronos' perfectionism, determination and high profile have revived a dying genre." Newsweek
“The Kronos has renewed and redefined the string quartet form and the chamber music experience.” San Francisco Examiner
