The multimedia program with filmmaker Sam Green on March 8 in La Jolla looked back, but also charted a path forward
So much music. So much time. Since the Kronos Quartet’s founding in 1973, critical response to their work has focused on the many aspects of time suggested by their name. Indeed, the recent 50th anniversary of the ensemble makes the passage of time an inevitable idea, one taken for a dazzling ride by writer/director Sam Green in the live film “A Thousand Thoughts,” presented Friday evening by La Jolla Music Society at the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center.
In much the same way that “Forrest Gump” uses the narrative thread of its protagonist to shepherd viewers through important, often traumatic, historical events, Green’s images — made up of interviews, news broadcasts, landscape scenes and performances — lead us on a moving odyssey that begins during the Vietnam War and continues to the present moment.
