Kronos Quartet’s ongoing residency at the Center includes working closely with composition students in the UMD School of Music.

Each season Kronos works with selected young student composers in creating new works, refining the pieces for maximum musical impact and presenting initial readings of the works in a public event.

This year, second year DMA Composition students Alexandra (“Lexi”) Bryant, Jonathan Graybill and Joel Pierson traveled to San Francisco to work with Kronos on their compositions, shaping and refining their work for Kronos’s public performance at the Center.

This residency with Kronos Quartet is made possible by a grant from Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
