Iconoclastic Brooklyn Rider- which NPR credited with "recreating the 300-year-old form of string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century ensemble" performs a program called "Healing Modes" that combines Beethoven's great String Quartet No. 15, Op. 132 with other new works written in response to it.
"They are four classical musicians performing with the energy of young rock stars jamming on their guitars, a Beethoven-goes-indie foray into making classical music accessible but also celebrating why it was good in the first place."- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Hailed as "the future of chamber music" (Strings), the veteran string quartet Brooklyn Rider presents eclectic repertoire and gripping performances that continue to draw rave reviews from classical, world, and rock critics alike.
To start the 2017-18 season, Brooklyn Rider releases Spontaneous Symbols in October on Johnny Gandelsman's In a Circle Records label. To mark the release the group will tour the northeast, with stops in New York and Boston, performing music from the new album. They team up with incomparable banjoist Bela Fleck-with whom they appeared on two different albums, 2017's Juno Concerto and 2013's The Impostor-for concerts in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Colorado and Montana. Also in the spring, Brooklyn Rider partners with two instrumentalists who are at the forefront of their respective genres, jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman and Irish fiddle master Martin Hayes. The tours with Redman and Hayes are the product of multi-season collaborations that will continue beyond the spring and will include new recordings with both artists. Balancing these collaborations is a full schedule of quartet performances across the U.S., as well as in the U.K., Sweden, and Germany.
