Kronos Festival – Good Medicine Finale

Program #3 closes Kronos Festival with two captivating premieres that will feature the composers themselves alongside Kronos. Vocalist and composer Tsering Wangmo Satho, joined by the San Francisco Girls Chorus under the direction of Valérie Sainte-Agathe, will present the world premiere of Satho’s new work, which explores the dynamic storytelling inherent to Tibetan opera songs. Multi-instrumentalist and composer Laura Ortman will join Kronos for the world premiere of a new version of her work, Scended Sparks. Drawing on her White Mountain Apache heritage, Ortman’s voice and words intertwine with her classical and Apache violins to evoke vivid landscapes, blending the sounds of nature with dynamic storytelling. The program also includes Nicole Lizée’s haunting and experimental Death to Kosmische, Mary Kouyoumdjian’s unflinching Bombs of Beirut — available now on WITNESS, her and Kronos’ recent album - and Zachary James Watkins’s resonant Peace Be Till.
