* Composed for Fifty for the Future: The Kronos Learning Repertoire

Kronos Quartet brings its ambitious and much-lauded Fifty for the Future commissioning initiative to Berkeley—where Cal Performances is among the project’s lead partners—with an expansive program of new and recent works that draw inspiration from diverse sources—from the cosmos, to humankind’s perilous relationship with water, to South African dance music. Receiving its Bay Area premiere, Mary Kouyoumdjian’s Silent Cranes is a commemoration of the Armenian genocide built on Armenian folk songs and accompanied by a visual narrative by OBIE Award-winning multimedia designer Laurie Olinder.
