Having just celebrated their 50th anniversary, Kronos Quartet marks their triumphant return to the Chan Centre since their sold-out concert in 2013. The innovative group have “broken the boundaries of what string quartets do” (The New York Times) over their five decades of performing. With over 1,100 commissioned works and 70 albums to their name, the prolific quartet have been recognized with more than 40 awards, including three Grammys. Kronos have been at the cutting edge of what this centuries-old artform can do, collaborating with illustrious artists like tabla master Zakir Hussain, genre-defying musician Rhiannon Giddens, rock band Nine Inch Nails, and composers such as Tanya Tagaq and Philip Glass. ………………………………………………………………………………….

Jlin’s thrilling, emotional, and multidimensional compositions have earned her praise as “one of the most forward-thinking contemporary composers in any genre” (Pitchfork). She is a recipient of a 2023 US Artist award and a 2023 Pulitzer Prize nomination. Her mini-album Perspective was released to critical acclaim on Planet Mu 2023. Her much-lauded albums Dark Energy (2015) and Black Origami (2017) have appeared on “Best of” lists in The NY Times, The Wire, LA Times, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, and Vogue. Jlin has been commissioned by the Kronos Quartet, Third Coast Percussion, the Pathos Quartet, choreographers Wayne McGregor and KyleAbraham, fashion designer Rick Owens and the visual artists Nick Cave and Kevin Beasley. Her latest release Akoma (Planet Mu March 2024) features collaborations with Philip Glass, Bjork and Kronos Quartet. ………………………………………………………………………………….
