* Australian premiere
This inspiring music event features a slate of pieces written or arranged exclusively for Kronos Quartet, including the exclusive Australian premiere of Steve Reich’s WTC 9/11 – a dissonant, propulsive meditation on the 2001 World Trade Centre catastrophe that incorporates the voices of defence and fire department personnel recorded during the attack.
This recital showcases the depth and diversity of a creative vision unparalleled in modern music. By turns adventurous and sorrowful, astounding and emotive, Kronos Quartet is a testament to the sweeping power and endless potential of string music.
