We are still catching our breath after a magical time in Amsterdam a few weeks ago!!
Over the course of two very full and amazing days ten string quartets joined in Amsterdam to perform all 50 of the pieces in the Kronos Fifty for the Future collection. It was incredible to hear all of the works in one place over two days!
Thank you String Quartet Biennale Amsterdam for producing this ambitious weekend with us and the Kronos Quartet.
Thank you to the composers and friends who were there: Aftab Darvishi, Fode Lassana Diabate, Lucy Durán, Inti Figgis-vizueta, Jlin, Karin Rehnqvist, Charlton Singleton, Merlijn Twaalfhoven, Aleksandra Vrebalov.
Thank you to all of the quartets Kronos Quartet, Attacca Quartet, Ruysdael Quartet, PUBLIQuartet, Matangi Quartet, Belinfante Quartet, Signum Quartett, ADAM Quartet, Animato Kwartet for inspired performances,
and thank you to the audience members who came to the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ or listened on the radio. We are thrilled, moved, and so grateful for this very powerful experience which we will not soon forget.
