  • Biografia

    ......         ..RECORDS..   .. ..l ....   ..CONCERTS..   .... l ....   ..MAILING LIST..   ..   .. .. .. .. .. For more than 30 years, San Francisco's Kronos Quartet—David Harrington, John Sherba (violins), Hank Dutt (viola) and Jeffrey Zeigler (cello)—has pursued a singular artistic vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to expanding the range and context of the string quartet. In the process, Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and influential ensembles of our time, performing thousands of concerts worldwide, releasing more than 45 recordings of extraordinary breadth and commissioning more than 600 new works and arrangements for string quartet. Kronos' work has also garnered numerous awards, including a Grammy for Best Chamber Music Performance (2004) and "Musicians of the Year" (2003) from Musical America. .... Kronos' adventurous, eclectic repertoire encompasses works by 20th-century masters (Bartók, Shostakovich, Webern), contemporary composers (Aleksandra Vrebalov, John Adams, Alfred Schnittke), jazz legends (Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk), and artists from even farther afield (rock guitar hero Jimi Hendrix, Azeri vocalist Alim Qasimov, and avant-garde saxophonist John Zorn). Integral to Kronos' work is a series of long-running, in-depth collaborations with many of the world's foremost composers, including Americans Terry Riley, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich; Azerbaijan's Franghiz Ali-Zadeh; Poland's Henryk Górecki, and Argentina's Osvaldo Golijov. Additional collaborators from around the world have included Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man; the legendary Bollywood "playback singer" Asha Bhosle; the renowned American soprano Dawn Upshaw; Mexican rockers Café Tacuba; the Romanian gypsy band Taraf de Haïdouks; and Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq. .... The Quartet spends five months of each year on tour, appearing in the world's most prestigious concert halls, clubs, and festivals. Kronos is equally prolific on CD, with a discography on Nonesuch Records including Pieces of Africa (1992), a showcase of African-born composers that simultaneously topped Billboard’s Classical and World Music lists; Nuevo (2002), a Grammy- and Latin Grammy–nominated celebration of Mexican culture; and the 2003 Grammy-winner, Alban Berg’s Lyric Suite. ......

    Help fund the next Kronos: Under 30 Project through Kickstar

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kronosquartet/kronos-under-30-project-5 ​ How are we saying thanks for supporting Under 30 / #5? You can receive an MP3 download of Kronos' recordings of the works commissioned by the Under 30 Project thus far. Also up for grabs - backstage passes, Kronos stickers and pins, or a postcard from Kronos on the road. Only 5 days left, please donate now!​ The Kronos: Under 30 Project is a commissioning program designed to support the creation of new music by young artists. Kronos will launch Under 30/#5 in spring 2012, and we are raising money for the project, which includes a call for scores, our review of submissions, selecting a young composer, commissioning the new work, rehearsal and development of the piece, premiere of the work, and recording the piece. A call for scores will be announced in 2012, and the commissioned new work will receive its world premiere in the 2013/2014 season. The Kronos: Under 30 Project was created in 2003, Kronos' 30th anniversary year, to support the creation of new work by young artists, and to help Kronos cultivate stronger connections and develop lasting artistic relationships with the next creative generation. Four pieces of music have been commissioned through Kronos: Under 30 since 2003. Since the program's inception, nearly 1,000 applications from 49 countries on six continents have been received. Kronos: Under 30 is not a contest, and all composers under 30 years of age are eligible to apply. In each round of the program, musicians are asked to submit recordings of works, regardless of instrumentation, to introduce Kronos to their music. The members of Kronos select one musician to whom they feel most artistically committed, and that composer is commissioned to write a new work for Kronos. The selected composer joins Kronos on tour for initial meetings, and then joins Kronos for a residency in San Francisco to prepare the new piece. Kronos and staff provide ongoing support to the composer through all aspects of the process. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kronosquartet/kronos-under-30-project-5 Kickstarter >> Kronos: Under 30 Project / #5 by Kronos Quartet Kronos Quartet is raising funds for Kronos: Under 30 Project / #5 on Kickstarter!

            After three years in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 2009 to 2011, WOMEX is moving south in 2012. The new host city is Thessaloniki, Greece's second major economic and political centre, located right by the Mediterranean Sea. With its 2300-year past, it's one of the oldest cities in Europe and a true cultural melting pot, bearing traces of an eventful history between Orient and Occident. Renowned for its vibrant cultural life, it is considered to be Greece's cultural capital.

      Hi!
    My album ‘Empathy’ is now available in  the best digital stores!
    Itunes
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/empathy/id519746474
    Cdbaby

    http://www.amazon.com/Empathy/dp/B007UTBP58/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335186584&sr=301-1
    and many other digital stores! Check it out!
    ‘When the soul of the piano and the acoustic music is colored, alternated and mixed with the electronic world of the synth. An intense and expessive style.’
    ‘Empathy, like art, is essential in life. It is as indefinable as concrete. This album was created from the desire to tell it, share it, evoke it in music.
    'Empathy' is an album almost entirely instrumental, played with particular attention to the sounds and dynamics. It, such as empathy, contains different moods. The tracks pass through different cultures and musical expressions, in an electroacoustic music ensembe, stylistically harmonious’
    Have a great day!
