They are the rock stars of the string quartet. They've played with everyone and everything (such as 'Purple Haze' to the left). And they, the uber-famous and sometimes over-popular Kronos Quartet, are playing for free this Thursday night Downtown. You can't beat that.

There are not many Grand Performances left for the summer. If you've never had the chance, pack some food and alcohol (no red wine allowed, it stains the granite), find a spot and enjoy a beautiful summer night downtown.

Thursday, August 30 @ 8:00 p.m.

Grand Performances takes place at the California Plaza.
(use the Red Line to Pershing Square)
