Folk Songs by Kronos Quartet
When Nonesuch Records celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014, with festivals at Barbican Centre in London and the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Kronos Quartet joined forces with four labelmates—Sam Amidon, Olivia Chaney, Rhiannon Giddens, and Natalie Merchant—to perform a concert entitled Folk Songs. The group later recorded the songs, most of which are traditional with contemporary arrangements, with Doug Petty as the album's producer.
