Kronos Quartet w/ Wu Man A/I Fest New Haven Green 6/22/13

One of the great things about being a city dweller is that I can ride my bike around and happen upon Kronos and Wu Man doing a sound check for their show that is to happen later that night. Modern classical group with two violins, viola, and cello is enhanced by chinese pipa player Wu Man. Modern chamber music that touches many cultures. Kronos' excellent Flood Plain recording from a few years back is on heavy rotation in my collection. While not able to be present for the actual show, this four tune warm-up as viewed from 10 feet away was great. Got to hear Harrington interact with Wu Man about time and tempo of a certain piece.
