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.

When Nonesuch Records celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014, with festivals at London's Barbican Centre and New York's Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Kronos Quartet joined forces with four labelmates-Sam Amidon, Olivia Chaney, Rhiannon Giddens, and Natalie Merchant-to perform a concert entitled Folk Songs. The group later recorded the songs, most of which are traditional with contemporary arrangements, with Doug Petty as the album's producer.
