About the Artist
Hailed as “the future of chamber music” (Strings magazine),
the game-changing string quartetBrooklyn
Rider presents
eclectic repertoire in gripping performances that
continue to draw rave reviews from classical, world
music, and rock critics alike. NPR credits Brooklyn
Rider with “recreating the 300-year-old form of
string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century
ensemble,” the Los
Angeles Times dubs
the group “one of the wonders of contemporary
music,” and Vice likens its members to “motocross
daredevils who never screw up a stunt.” Equally at
home in clubs and concert halls, the quartet has
played venues as varied as Carnegie Hall’s Zankel
Hall, the San Francisco Jazz Festival, Le Poisson
Rouge, Japan’s Todai-ji, Lincoln Center, Brooklyn’s
Littlefield, the Library of Congress, the Telluride
Bluegrass Festival, and South by Southwest. Through
visionary programming and global collaborations,
Brooklyn Rider’s “down-to-earth demeanor…demystifies
contemporary classical music and invites everyone
into the tent” (Time Out New York).
Celebrating its tenth anniversary with its most
ambitious venture to date, Brooklyn Rider launches
the 2014-2015 season with the release of the Brooklyn
Rider Almanac on
Mercury Classics, accompanied by a US tour. The
album forms the centerpiece of a groundbreaking
multi-disciplinary project for which the quartet
commissioned 15 new works, each inspired by a
respective artistic muse, from composers ranging
from Wilco’s Glenn Kotche of indie rock fame to jazz
icon Bill Frisell. Like the quartet’s name, the
project was inspired in equal parts by the
cross-disciplinary vision of Der Blaue Reiter (“The
Blue Rider”), the pre-World War I Munich-based
artistic collective, and the exploding array of
cultures and artistic energy found in the group’s
Brooklyn home. Upcoming highlights also include a
residency at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, crowned by the world premiere of Veils
and Vespers by
Pulitzer Prize winner John Luther Adams; the New
York premiere of Chalk
and Soot, a collaboration between quartet
violinist Colin Jacobsen and choreographer John
Heginbotham at Lincoln Center’s White Light
Festival; and continued touring with banjo legend
Béla Fleck, with whom Brooklyn Rider recently
released The
Impostor on
Deutsche Grammophon / Mercury Classics. Summer
brings the tenth anniversary season of the
Stillwater Music Festival, a weeklong Minnesota
chamber festival founded by the group in 2006 as a
place to unveil new repertoire and collaborations.
The Carnegie
Hall Notables, a membership and ticket
program for music enthusiasts in their 20s and 30s,
is an exciting and energetic community of young

the arts. Through original events, private

Notables events have featured such artists as Alec
Baldwin, Renée Fleming, Ana Gasteyer, Henry Rollins,
and Duncan Sheik. The annual lineup of events is

of artists, socialites, and entrepreneurs in their
20s and 30s. Members experience all types of music,
traditional, and contemporary. Contributions to the
Notables program support the vital music education
programs of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute,
