Darsteller
| Kronos Quartet |
For almost 40 years, the Kronos Quartet has been
reinventing the string quartet, regularly turning it into
a multimedia experience. The group’s first Proms
appearance begins with high-octane Syrian folk-pop
and ends with a Kronos commission blending classical
strings with ethnic Balkan instruments, shouts,
foot-stomping, bells and electronic overdubs.
In between, varied fare from the group’s eclectic
repertoire plus a BBC commission inspired by the
work of Delia Derbyshire of the BBC Radiophonic
Workshop (responsible for the realisation of Ron
Grainer’s Doctor Who theme). Listen out, too,
for the otherworldly Kronos arrangement of
a Scandinavian folk lament.
