KRONOS | 50 FOR THE FUTURE MARATHON

String quartets from amateurs to professionals bring together the ‘50 for the Future’ repertoire.
In 2015, Kronos Quartet launched its ‘50 for the Future’ repertoire, a contemporary repertoire of 50 compositions aimed at keeping the tradition of the string quartet alive and providing it with new repertoire. This so-called learning repertoire is freely accessible via the Kronos Quartet site and includes compositions by well-known contemporary composers such as Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, Garth Knox and Terry Riley, as well as non-Western composers such as Tanya Tagaq, Man Wu, Kala Ramnath and Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté.
On 17 November 2024, Bozar will present 27 string quartets and 3 ensembles that will perform pieces from the 50 For The Future repertoire in different rooms at Bozar. There will be novice musicians, conservatory students, amateurs with a lot of experience and seasoned professionals who today will together pay tribute to the special tradition of the string quartet.
Artistic Coordination: Guy Danel, Igor Semenoff, Maarten Sterckx & Hidde van Schie
Coordination of Production: Sam De Ley & Frederik Vandewiele
