Kronos Quartet Gives Memorable Ending to 06-07 Season


As the final notes and images of Kronos Quartet's "Sun Rings" dissolved, the 2006-2007 TITAS Season came to a close.

Scott Cantrell wrote of the show:

Sometimes undergirded by synthesizer pulses, the music was certainly easy on the ear: foot-tapping dances (sometimes with quirky asymmetries), gentle songs, pretty quasi-chorales. The Kronos players (violinists David Harrington and John Sherba, violist Hank Dutt and cellist Jeffrey Zeigler) played very well indeed, and they waved hands over sensors to set off some of the celestial sound effects. Mark Grey was credited as sound designer, Brian Mohr as audio engineer.

By turns, and then together, the choruses sang soothing lines and harmonies. Of the unidentified texts I caught only the children's prayer "Now I lay me down to sleep." Led by Timothy Seelig, the singers sounded well-rehearsed and mostly assured.
