Two world-class ensembles, one monumental collaboration. West meets East as America’s premier new music pioneers, the Kronos Quartet, and Homayun Sakhi, one of the greatest Afghan rubab players of his generation, cross musical boundaries to create a bold sound that is nothing short of spectacular.
After separate sets, the musicians will share the stage to perform Sakhi’s luminous composition Rangin Kaman, translated as “rainbow” in Farsi.
For more than 30 years, the Kronos Quartet – David Harrington, John Sherba (violins), Hank Dutt (viola) and Jeffrey Zeigler (cello) – has pursued a singular artistic vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to expanding the range and context of the string quartet.
This concert is presented in collaboration with the Aga Khan Music Initiative, a programme of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.
