n THE Kronos string quartet will play Terry Riley's acclaimed Sun Rings at Glasgow's Riverside Museum on July 15 as part of the London 2012 festival celebrations.

NASA's spectacular images of deep space, solar eruptions, starscapes and planetary close-ups will be screened on a video backdrop to accompany the music. Riley's Sun Rings was originally inspired by his discovery that there is sound in space. He worked with the Kronos quartet and visual designer and director Willie Williams, to create this combination of music and powerful visuals.
