Work: Hold me, neighbor, in this storm

The program page for Kronos Quartet’s program at the Cleveland Museum of Art on 18 January was typical of their concerts: a daunting list of mostly unfamiliar composers and every work either written or arranged for Kronos (David Harrington and John Sherba, violins; Hank Dutt, viola; and Jeffrey Zeigler, cello).

It's remarkable that the 39-year-old Kronos Quartet had never played at the Proms before this Tuesday evening, but they seemed set for making up on lost time, with a literally spectacular performance of a typically diverse range of works from around the world.
