Season Overview Tickets

Juxtaposing familiar works with the new and lesser known, Brooklyn Rider explores a boundless sandbox of musical creativity, dialogue and play: the medium of the string quartet itself. Haydn's C major Sun quartet is one of the jewels of the Classical era, replete with pioneering inventiveness and an enduring love of the genre. The program segues from the veritable father of the string quartet to a highly anticipated new chapter of The Brooklyn Rider Almanac. In part inspired by The Blue Rider (the quartet's namesake), this celebration of the project's twentieth anniversary adds to a diverse and novel body of works penned by luminous musical creators from the jazz, folk, and indie rock worlds.

Brooklyn Rider's enduring relationship with Philip Glass (perhaps the most iconic ambassador of musical minimalism) is honoured with his Quartet Satz – a seven-minute sojourn into mesmeric bliss, described by the Kronos Quartet as 'something that encapsulates his entire vision in one work'. It serves as the perfect prelude to Dvořák’s American – a perennial masterpiece that radiates warmth from the inside out, providing the most picturesque conclusion to a weekend of unmissable chamber music.
