The legendary Kronos Quartet joins The Next Festival of Emerging Artists for a celebration of Terry Riley’s 90th birthday, part of a program featuring world premieres by some of today’s most adventurous contemporary voices.

Founder and Artistic Director Peter Askim leads a string orchestra of talented early-career string players in Terry Riley’s The Sands (composed for Kronos) and the world premieres of Jungyoon Wie’s Starlings, inti-figgis vizueta’s music by yourself for string orchestra, and his own new work, Songs My Mother Taught Me. The program also includes GRAMMY-winning composer Pascal Le Boeuf’s kinetic Transition Behavior and Serenade for Strings by Jan Radzynski.

The Next Festival is dedicated to the nurturing of emerging artists with a passion for 21st-century music. Learn more at www.next-fest.org.
