Kronos Quartet’s virtuosity and sense of adventure are on full display in this performance. George Crumb’s Black Angels, the iconic work that inspired the founding of the ensemble, is a powerful parable written in response to the Vietnam War, scored for amplified string quartet with percussive sounds, spoken-word passages, and other special effects. Crumb’s work is pointedly paired with the My Lai Suite, written by Jonathan Berger (music) and Harriet Scott Chessman (libretto) for Kronos Quartet, Vietnamese multi-instrumentalist Vân-Ánh Vanessa Võ, and vocalist Rinde Eckert. Adding to the excitement are new works by Aleksandra Vrebalov (co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall) and inti figgis-vizueta.

Tickets from $65 to $80.
