The San Francisco–based Kronos Quartet is thrilled to present the return of its annual KRONOS FESTIVAL to live, in-person performance. This year’s 3-day/night showcase is inspired by the Bay Area’s rich diversity and continues Kronos’ commitment to artistic and cultural breadth—with featured composers and guest artists representing 10 nations.

The program concludes with the world premiere of My Lai Suite, adapted from composer Jonathan Berger and librettist Harriet Scott Chessman’s opera about Hugh Thompson, the Vietnam War Army helicopter pilot who courageously intervened in the U.S. Army massacre of unarmed Vietnamese civilians. Guest vocalist Rinde Eckert and master instrumentalist Vân-Ánh Võ join Kronos on stage.
