Kronos Quartet has been doing concerts for young listeners for years, revealing how four string players can sound like almost anything.

Audiences travel through three of Hancher’s spaces for performances by Iowa-based musicians. The format is part concert, part architectural tour, and each set brings a different texture: percussion ringing through the lobby's open volumes, a low-end duo with electronics in the club space, and a saxophone quartet in the behind-the-scenes backstage transfer area.

Kronos Quartet—the endlessly innovative ensemble that commissioned 50 diverse works to expand how musicians and audiences think about the string quartet—closes the Fifty for the Future adventure with a program featuring eight composers and music drawn from the project catalog and beyond.

Dazzling keepers of the Mariachi tradition honor a hero of the music.

America’s 250th anniversary animates the program for an evening of music with a bold quartet.
