Residency / Merita
Wasn't it incredible?
Kronos’ 50 for the Future Weekend in Amsterdam was certainly one for the books, a weekend saturated with richness and innovation for the beloved string quartet. Fifty new pieces, two days, all under one roof in Muziekgebouw and BIMHUIS.
Throughout the weekend we immersed ourselves in the imagination, personal stories and cultures of the fifty composers who wrote works for Kronos’ 50 for the Future. Some of these composers were even present during the weekend to share their inspirations and motivations firsthand.
The Kronos Quartet, Ragazze Quartet, Attacca Quartet, PUBLIQuartet, Belinfante Quartet, ADAM Quartet, Ruysdael Quartet, Matangi Quartet, Signum Quartet and Animato Quartet took the stage; each providing an outstanding performance of the diverse repertoire. Each quartet contributed their own unique heartbeat and sound.
