To end the opening ceremony of the International Year of Astronomy, the Kronos Quartet gives a show representation of the “Sun Rings” wrote by Terry Riley, an ode to Earth and his people; featuring a choir of both sounds and cosmic images from the space.

Kronos Quartet is a string quartet founded by violinist David Harrington in 1973. Since 1978, the quartet has been based in San Francisco, California.

Kronos covers a very broad range of musical genres: Mexican folk, experimental, pre-classical early music, movie soundtracks, jazz and tango.
