Kronos Quartet
The Kronos Quartet is an American string quartet based in San Francisco. They have been in existence with a rotating membership of musicians for over forty years. The quartet specializes in contemporary and new music, with more than 750 works having been written for them.
==History==
The quartet was founded by violinist David Harrington in Seattle, Washington. Its first performance was in November 1973.〔 Since 1978, the quartet has been based in San Francisco, California. The longest-running combination of performers (from 1978 to 1999) had Harrington and John Sherba on violin, Hank Dutt on viola, and Joan Jeanrenaud on cello. In 1999, Joan Jeanrenaud left Kronos because she was "eager for something new";〔 she was replaced by Jennifer Culp〔 who, in turn, left in 2005 and was replaced by Jeffrey Zeigler. In June 2013, Zeigler was replaced by Sunny Yang.〔 With almost forty studio albums to their credit and having performed worldwide, they were called "probably the most famous 'new music' group in the world"〔 and were praised in philosophical studies of music for the inclusiveness of their repertoire.〔
By the time the quartet celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary, in 1999, they had a repertoire of over 600 works, which included 400 string quartets written for them, more than 3,000 performances, seven first-prize ASCAP awards, Edison Awards in classical and popular music, and had sold more than 1.5 million records.〔
