Kronos Quartet

The game-changing Kronos Quartet presents a semi-staged, multisensory exploration of the histories of Indigenous, Gullah-Geechee and Chinese American communities in the United States. One panel in this musical triptych brings together the visceral, gripping and poignant artistry of Apache violinist and composer Laura Ortman. Another explores connections between West African and American cultures through compositions by Lorenzo Dow Turner and Charlton Singleton, featuring Grammy-winning percussionist Quentin E. Baxter. A third panel welcomes pipa virtuoso Wu Man and other guests for music by Dai Wei alongside personal histories of Chinese Americans who expanded civil and immigrant rights in San Francisco.
