Kronos Quartet Performs with Alim Qasimov Ensemble, 2/17

By:

The Grammy-winning Kronos Quartet performs with the Alim Qasimov Ensemble for the first time in Atlanta, on Feb. 17, 8 p.m. at the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts. Together they perform Azerbaijani classical music known as mugham, and the repertoire of popular bardic songs sung by ashiqs, traditional singer-songwriters whose song texts often portray with wry humor and searing irony, the power of love and the pain of separation.

The Feb. 17 concert program will open with Kronos Quartet performing “Clouded Yellow” by Michael Gordon; “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” written by Bob Dylan/arr. by Philip Glass; and “Aheym (Homeward)” by Bryce Dessner. Alim Qasimov Ensemble will then perform traditional music; and the second half of the program will feature the ensembles’ collaborative arrangements.
