Next week Bill Morrison will be on campus with Kronos Quartet for their performance of

Thank you!

Beyond Zero: 1914-1918 A new work for quartet with film
Tue * Feb 10 * 7 pm * Spaulding Auditorium
Aleksandra Vrebalov composer & Bill Morrison filmmaker
Preceded by works from Stravinsky, Ives, Webern, Ravel and Rachmaninoff evoking the immense impact of World War I
For 40 years, the Kronos Quartet has championed music that challenges the global outlook. In
Beyond Zero, it teams up with Serbian-born Vrebalov and acclaimed filmmaker Bill Morrison—working with decaying archival footage as he did in
The Great Flood—to create a heart-stopping sound-and-film narrative of WWI. It’s preceded by an absorbing cross-cultural suite of short, largely circa-1914 works that characterize that era’s artistic foment.
