Kronos Quartet is an American string quartet founded in 1973 by David Harrington, known for commissioning contemporary composers and for cross-genre collaborations.

Founded in Seattle in 1973; long active in commissioning new works and collaborating across genres. David Harrington is the quartet's founder and longtime leader.

Two DeBaser reviews show contrasting views: one criticizes the Kronos Quartet's Bollywood rework with Asha Bhosle as conservative and lightweight. The other praises the group's collaboration with Mogwai and Clint Mansell on The Fountain soundtrack as powerful and deeply moving.

For:Fans of contemporary classical, soundtrack listeners, and curious listeners of cross-genre collaborations.

 Hooray... now what has the most eccentric quartet of the contemporary jazz (?) scene come up with?
