Kronos Festival 2025 will feature musical innovation centered around Terry Riley's 'Good Medicine', an evocative two-hour piece celebrating peace. The festival, marking the Kronos Quartet's 50th anniversary, includes world premieres by Hildur Guðnadóttir and Soo Yeon Lyuh, addressing themes from refugee experiences to cultural histories. Other performances will recognize significant historical anniversaries. This diverse lineup showcases the Quartet's commitment to exploring contemporary issues through music, inviting both longtime fans and newcomers to experience the transformative power of string quartets.
Terry Riley's 'Good Medicine' opens the festival, serving as a profound reminder of music's healing power amid global turmoil. It's designed as a rite rather than a mere concert.
This year's festival marks a significant milestone, not only celebrating the legacy of Kronos Quartet but also presenting new works by contemporary composers addressing social issues, like refugee mistreatment.
