For over three decades Kronos has fearlessly pushed the horizons of music, blurring boundaries between the Western canon, gifted musicians from different corners of the world, and iconic figures in pop, jazz, and dance.

With collaborations extending from Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley to Dawn Upshaw, Allen Ginsberg, Zakir Hussein, and DJ Spooky, they have blazed a uniquely imaginative trail through contemporary music.

Their Williams Center concert will feature one of their signature pieces: George Crumb’s astonishing anti-war composition, Black Angels, in a newly conceived “staging” intended to dramatize the true theatrical power of Crumb’s richly-textured music.

WDIY 88.1 FM, Lehigh Valley Community Public Radio, is our media partner for this concert.

The Grossman Gallery, in the Williams Visual Arts Building, is one block from the Delaware River and sits directly over the Bushkill Creek. Both bodies of water have overflowed their banks in recent years. Knee Deep and Risin', created by Jim Toia and Noah Vawter, is a multimedia installation of video and audio feeds from both waterways. Infrared sensors, triggered by visitors' moving the exhibition screens, activate live and recorded video and audio, simulating flood events from fresh perspectives. Knee Deep and Risin' is an interdisciplinary project by Lafayette College's Department of Computer Science, Department of Art, Grossman Gallery, Community Based Teaching Program, and the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School.
