How all women act? #yesallwomen

College Park, MD— The Kronos Quartet reflects on the centennial of World War I with a performance at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center’s Kay Theatre on October 25 at 8pm. The first half of the program features Prelude to a Black Hole, a compilation of unusual works chosen by Kronos to convey the serenity and impact of the World War I centennial. Works include Stravinsky’s Three Pieces for String Quartet, Ravel’s Trois beaux oiseaux du Paradis and Rachmaninov’s Nunc Dimittis from All-Night Vigil. The second part of the program is Beyond Zero: 1914-1918, a new work composed by Aleksandra Vrebalov and accompanied by a Bill Morrison film, which uses rare archival World War I footage.
