Since 1978, the quartet has been based in San Francisco, California. The longest-running combination of performers (1978–1999) had Harrington and John Sherba on violin, Hank Dutt on viola and Joan Jeanrenaud on cello. Jennifer Culp replaced Jeanrenaud on cello in 1999. Jeffrey Zeigler replaced Culp on cello in 2005. Sunny Yang replaced Zeigler on cello in 2013. Paul Wiancko replaced Sunny Yang in 2023.
Recently, the Kronos Quartet began a commission process for composers under the age of 30, in the hope of bringing some of the talented young composers of our day to light.
Kronos specializes in new music and has a long history of commissioning new works. In fact, over 850 works have been created for the Kronos Quartet. They have worked with many minimalist composers including Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Terry Riley and Kevin Volans.
Kronos has collaborated with composers from diverse countries such as Franghiz Ali Zadeh from Azerbaijan and Osvaldo Golijov from Argentina. Golijov is a MacArthur Fellow who has done compositions and arrangements for Kronos CDs such as Caravan and Nuevo.
Kronos covers a very broad range of musical genres: Mexican folk, experimental, pre-classical early music, movie soundtracks (Requiem for a Dream), jazz and tango. Kronos has even recorded adaptations of Purple Haze, Flugufrelsarinn, Marquee Moon, and Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals.
Composers aside, Kronos has teamed up with artists from around the world, including the legendary Bollywood "playback singer" Asha Bhosle; the American soprano Dawn Upshaw; Mexican pop-rockers Cafe Tacuba; and the Romanian gypsy band Taraf de Haidouks.
Kronos has performed live with the likes of the late poet Allen Ginsberg, Modern Jazz Quartet, David Bowie, and Bjork, and has appeared on recordings with such diverse talents as singer-songwriters Dave Matthews, Nelly Furtado, Rokia Traore, Joan Armatrading, and Texas yodeler Don Walser.

Never thought I would be head banging to classical music... 3:02 is absolutely bloody breathtaking
@nvfpv
I was first introduced to this song as a teen skateboarder back in 2011-2012 after seeing a skateboarding video that Thrasher had put up. The skate video took place in the forest so the song went perfect with it. Can't find the video but I've been listening to this constantly since then. It was definitely one of the most impactful skate videos I've ever seen. Really solid tune Philip!
@MistaSicK
Exact same for me ! We need to find the video name. As I remember it took place in Canada.
@leelokje
This is haunting, exciting, passionate music. And so much more! Yet it’s minimalism. I just love it. I feel this music!
@johollaback
Do you ever experience a piece of music so beautiful that you are compelled to stop your task, and just let your mind freely feel and wander? This is a wonderful example of just that :)
@erlendlangseth4672
This is why my study session is maybe not the most efficient. But I couldn't do without music.
@CarlosAugustoScalassaraPrando
Yep, Xenakis do that with me.
@BrianGrantJazz
Enjoyable music. Always love to listen to Glass' work.
@Mgdr2011
This is amazing!
@sergiosozi
Little unforgetting masterpiece - but underrating, as usual...
