  • Kronos Quartet Performs on BBC Radio 3's "In Tune" Amid Week-Long Barbican Residency in London

    Kronos Quartet began its week-long Barbican residency in London over the weekend with master classes and workshops. The residency, titled Awakenings, continues with concerts at Hackney Empire tonight, the Barbican on Thursday, and Wilton's Music Hall on Friday. Kronos Quartet appeared on BBC Radio 3's In Tune and performed two pieces from the concerts.

"Nearly 40 years of innovation, excellence and excitement—how does one begin to describe the Kronos Quartet?"

About this Album

Argentine legend Piazzolla composed this work especially for Kronos. The result, says the New York Times, is a “set of charmingly melodic tangos in which the group supplied an accompaniment to the composer’s urbane performances on the accordion-like bandoneon.”
