"Few young artists are as versatile as the four gentlemen of the string quartet Brooklyn Rider…veterans of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road project as well as expert advocates for the classical repertory." —The New YorkerThe quartet Brooklyn Rider creates music that is intellectually stimulating and emotionally exhilarating. Illuminating chamber music in new ways, their superb musicianship shines through whether performing the works of the great masters or the music of our time. Born out of a desire to use the rich medium of the string quartet as a vehicle for borderless communication, the innovative Brooklyn Rider introduces new worlds, new sounds, unusual collaborations, and fresh, global insights into the string quartet literature. The concert will include works by Claude Debussy, Philip Glass, the quartet’s own Colin Jacobsen, and others.
