The Kronos Quartet is a renowned ensemble from San Francisco, United States. With a current line-up consisting of David Harrington (violin), John Sherba (violin), Hank Dutt (viola), and Sunny Yang (cello), they have captivated audiences worldwide with their exceptional musical talent.
Over the years, the quartet has seen various talented musicians as part of their group, including Joan Jeanrenaud, Jennifer Culp, and Jeffrey Zeigler on cello. Their contributions have added depth and richness to the quartet's sound.
Known for their innovative approach to music, the Kronos Quartet has collaborated with an impressive array of artists across genres. They have worked alongside notable composers such as Philip Glass and Steve Reich, pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic landscapes.

In 1987, following the death of Moses Asch, the Smithsonian Institution acquired from his estate the rights, papers, and masters for Folkways Records. This was done with the Smithsonian's promise to keep all of the 2168 Folkways titles in print, which they continue to do to this day under the *Smithsonian Folkways* banner.

Under their ownership, *Smithsonian Folkways* has become a renowned label in the music industry. With a commitment to preserving and promoting traditional folk music from around the world, they have curated an extensive collection of albums that showcase diverse cultural expressions.

As one of the leading authorities on folk music, *Smithsonian Folkways* offers a wide range of genres including blues, country, gospel, jazz, and world music. Their catalog features legendary artists such as Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie as well as lesser-known but equally talented performers who have made significant contributions to their respective musical traditions.

On Long Time Passing, the trailblazing Kronos Quartet celebrates the music of Pete Seeger and rejoices in the spirit, inspiration, and fearlessness inherent in his lifes work. Along with guests Sam Amidon, Maria Arnal, Brian Carpenter, Meklit, Lee Knight, and Aoife ODonovan , the group examines Seegers celebration of beauty and the pleasure of singing together. Through the power of these eternally relevant cries for unity and moral integrity, the album articulates the responsibility we have as citizens and members of a greater community to question war and injustice, and to develop the courage to raise our voices together both in word and song.
