Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts is a co-commissioning partner for 50 for the Future: The Kronos Learning Repertoire. The mission is to create a free library of fifty new works, written by 25 men and 25 women, designed to train emerging string quartet musicians. The Kronos Quartet will present a selection of pieces from the 50 for the Future collection in a virtual program, followed by a dialogue with the Quartet and Jorgensen Director Rodney Rock.

For over 45 years, San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet has pursued a singular artistic vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagine the string quartet experience. In the process, Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and influential groups of our time, performing thousands of concerts worldwide, releasing more than 60 recordings of extraordinary breadth and creativity, collaborating with many of the world’s most accomplished composers and performers, and commissioning more than 1,000 works and arrangements for string quartet.

“The Kronos Quartet has broken the boundaries of what string quartets do.” – The New York Times
