Kronos Quartet Tonight!

Oh, DAMN. We're going to miss this one. But you shouldn't. You know Kronos Quartet - they played the most beautiful music for the most depressing movie ever. I'm almost late for yoga, making this post, but I had to tell you about this (see how much I love you?):

From the Lincoln Center Outdoors website:
Visionary precision, fearless exploration, and unlimited scope have placed the Kronos Quartet at the forefront of contemporary music for nearly 40 years. Tonight’s far-reaching repertoire features works by Steve Reich, CafĂ© Tacuba, and the world premiere of Christine Southworth’s Super Collider. Performed by Kronos with the 14 musicians of Gamelan Galak Tika (Evan Ziporyn, artistic director) using the virtual Gamelan Elektrika, designed and developed by Harmonix’s Alex Rigopulos (of Guitar Hero and Rock Band), Super Collider juxtaposes two sound worlds and traditions, the string quartet and the ancient gamelan, through the unlimited sonic universe of electronics.
