Kronos Quartet

For this concert, the Kronos Quartet interprets 'early' in broader ways than the common definition of Early Music. In some cases they are early works in a composer's output; in the case of Lizée's 'Death to Kosmische', it's a reference to early electronic music – and the group plays some rudimentary electronic instruments such as Stylophones in the piece. 'Early' can also refer to a different mode of human existence, as in the traditional works programmed.
