Cross-cultural collaborations with the Kronos Quartet
View through CrossRef
By examining the creative and interactive processes that take place between members of the Kronos Quartet and musicians from non-Western traditions, the research discussed in this chapter extends beyond the standard conventions of the classical string quartet repertoire to embrace unusual and unpredictable combinations of notation and improvisation. Examples of Kronos rehearsing with singers and instrumentalists from Central Asia, and with Ukrainian vocalist Mariana Sadovska, illustrate how conventional Western constructions of composer and performer become blurred when musicians work together across cultural boundaries. The chapter uses rehearsal and interview data to address questions regarding roles and responsibilities, the distribution of creativity in rehearsal, and the way composition, performance and improvisation are defined and re-defined in this context.
