Kronos Quartet

The Kronos Quartet will be performing in Durham tonight (good timing, Tim) with their program Awakening: A Musical Meditation on 9/11 at the Page Auditorium on the Duke West Campus at 8 pm.

The program consists of 13 pieces were written or especially arranged for the quartet by many different composers, including Osvaldo Golijov and Michael Gordon.

The Kronos Quartet has released more than 40 recordings, winning many awards over the years, including a Grammy! The concert prices (from the flyer I picked up the other day) are $46 (section A), $38 (section B) and $25 (section C). Not too expensive, considering the the hip hop group Black Eyed Peas gave a concert recently and the tickets cost around $180.
