The following is an email advertisement from UCB:

Please join us on Saturday, December 7 in Zellerbach Hall as we toast one of the most celebrated and influential groups of our time, the Kronos Quartet. We will mark the ensemble's four plus decades of fearless exploration, innovation, and collaboration with a very special 40th Birthday Concert. An exclusive discount price is currently available for UC Berkeley faculty and staff. Please see below for details on how to order.

We are delighted that the Kronos Quartet, Cal Performances' 2013/14 Artist-in-Residence, will celebrate their 40th birthday with us on the Zellerbach Hall stage with esteemed colleagues and guests: guitarist and composer Bryce Dessner of The National, pipa virtuoso Wu Man, author Daniel Handler (also known as Lemony Snicket), and many more. For the 40th birthday concert, Kronos will offer Berkeley audiences a program spanning more than four decades, including Bay Area premieres by Philip Glass and Terry Riley, as well as a reprise of George Crumb's Black Angels, which inspired violinist David Harrington to form the quartet in 1973.

Kronos and Cal Performances have enjoyed a thriving artistic partnership, including world, West Coast, and Bay Area premieres and commissions, and groundbreaking collaborations with Berkeley faculty and students.

We hope you can join us for what is sure to be a fantastic celebration on Saturday, December 7.
