Obra: Round Midnight

Ravel and Bartók shared the program with Gershwin, Brubeck, Thelonious Monk and others in this imaginative program.

Cool venue – cool ensemble – cool concert! The Kronos quartet are successful where so many fail in bringing the often-too-distinct worlds of pop/rock and classical together. This concert highlighted their commitment to forging their own performance aesthetic by only programming music that has been written specifically for them.
