- Collaboration. It's at the heart of many of NPR Music's finest moments. And it's in the DNA of the intrepid Kronos Quartet, which some 40 years ago began working with composers around the globe to spotlight new music.
Opening our 10th anniversary concert at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., Kronos, true to form, gave an appreciative audience both a world premiere and an extraordinary surprise collaboration.
The band began its set with a soulful rendition of "House of the Rising Sun," in which lead violinist David Harrington belted out like a blues singer. Then, in a hair-raising arrangement by Jacob Garchik, music by the young Egyptian electro-folk artist Islam Chipsy ricocheted in frenetic waves.
Written for Kronos' open access education initiative Fifty for the Future and called "Zaghlala," the piece had not been heard by any audience anywhere. The music refers to blurred vision caused by strong light hitting the eyes. Kronos' violist Hank Dutt drove the pulsating beat, swapping his viola for the Middle Eastern dumbek. Kronos also conjured up Gershwin's "Summertime," inspired, Harrington noted, by Janis Joplin's mesmerizing version.
Finally, at the end, came the Wilco moment.
Harrington announced the last tune, "Born Alone," as belonging to one of the group's favorite bands - Wilco. As the strings fired up a brand new arrangement, created for this event, Jeff Tweedy himself emerged from back stage to sing his song.
It was a stunning collaborative moment. All genre pigeonholes seemed to fall away as these artists of singular purpose converged. -- Tom Huizenga

Wonderful how you stretched those strings into new combinations! You march to your own drummer.
had no idea these guys still existed... remember when they were on Sesame Street back in the day... Kronos lord of time, Aka Saturn, the harvester... time is not linear.. time is cyclic... all things return
I want to link you all to their NPR tiny desk concert, but I am sure you have seen it, the first 10 minutes is astounding. I don't know how to do it... Am currently listening to Summertime, OMG...
got to know Kronos Quartet from their cover album of Kraftwerk. So when I see their name I know there will be some great cover!!
Now i gotta watch Requiem for a Dream again.
Beautiful.
I still haven't been able to rewatch it. Too much anxiety.
Not that it is bad, quite the opposite. The book and the movie were both brilliant, but why would you subject yourself to that more than once?
What is the connection?
They performed Lux Aeterna which was the main theme for the movie. Incredible movie, incredible sound track. Though i believe Clint Mansel was involved in some degree, i'm sure one of you can enlighten me as to what particular role he played.
So Beautiful ❤❤❤
You are quoting in music what your name means" Kronos", time is everywhere, civilazations, cultures, countries, Gods, etc. Your musical adventure is endless...
Increíble. Felicitaciones.
They are also on "Journey" from Destiny 2 OST.
Absolutely brilliant 👏 so avant-garde
Beautiful music! The kind of stuff Wu-tang appreciated & shared...
Power filled!!! Music Masters 🎶🎶🎶🎶👑
Creativity and great beauty.
Absolutely awesome!
The first time I heard the Kronos Quartet was long ago at the Ojai Music Festival probably a few years after the group formed. They play a lot music that is technically very difficult..
First time I've heard House of the Rising Sun played like that😶
Outstanding! B R A V O! B R A V O!
This was intense
fitting Saturn has finally left my sun sign of Sag after2.5 years....... time to RISE AGAIN!
최고!!!
Im surprised the violin strings dont break with some of the high energy playing!
Magnific!
stunning... as ever! thank you!
Beautiful!
A lonely hey from Egypt q✋
hello from las vegas!
Müthiş!
bello!
very great overall. not sure about percussion on Zaghlala though.
Es Gee who the he'll are you Leonard Bernstein or some big shot?
😍😍😍
Fuckin A right!
Nice t0 see kronos. I have original writ8ng in my channel.. typo... no dead man's takes of Zornn tho
Not quite the cat o nine tails tho
Is it just me (or my phone speakers), or is the violinist in the first tune a bit out of tune?
Well it's a blues, so it could be part of the performance
Cheesy and flashy
Must admit, that Wilco scene was so bad.
Proper music, played by people with obvious musical talent who understand their craft. As opposed to some guy talking and waving his arms around to beats and saying "nigga" every 10 seconds.
Whatever you say Mr. Scrooge
Are you talking about Simon Rattle?
We get it, you hate black people
Yeah they hated The Lord of the Rings trilogy when it first came out. Doesn't negate the fact they were good books (aka new styles of art).
Who exactly gets to define "proper" music? You are the same type of troll who got pissed off when Dylan started playing electric. This may come as a surprise to you but like all art, music changes and grows, and the new generations have no obligation to make music that you enjoy.
not awesome
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
