Performing four compositions by Dessner,The Kronos Quartet champion an exciting young composer, continuing a history of presenting new and important works and composers that stretches back to their founding in 1973.
Dessner has a history of composition that predates his membership in the National, and represents a new generation who are blurring the lines between rock and contemporary classical music. From the raw emotional overtones of Aheym to the soaring choral crescendo - courtesy of the Brooklyn Youth Chorus Of Tour Eiffel, Bryce Dessner s Music for the Kronos Quartet will delight longtime followers of Kronos work with Steve Reich, Philip Glass and others, and will challenge and surprise the National s many fans.
