Emory’s Schwartz Center brought the Kronos Quartet <\/a>to Atlanta last night for an evening of transcendent, or as we used to say in the ’60s, mind-blowing<\/em> music. In addition, the audience had a chance to see the Azerbaijan\u00c2\u00a0Alim Qasimov Ensemble<\/a>, whose Mugham indigenous classical music included spirited vocal duets accompanied by the tar, a long-necked lute, daf (frame drums), kamancha (spike fiddle) and what appeared to be a clarinet.<\/p>\n

This is one of the pieces that Kronos and Qasimov’s ensemble performed together, titled ‘Getme, Getme’,<\/em> which means ‘Don’t leave, don’t leave’<\/em> and was written by Said Rustamov<\/a> (1907-1983).
