Brooklyn Rider Quartet and Ariadne Greif

Brooklyn Rider has carved a singular space in the world of string quartets over the last fifteen-plus years, with repertoire ranging from late-Beethoven to Persian classical music to American roots music to the endlessly varied voices of living composers.

They will present four brand new string quartets inspired by "Der Blaue Reiter", a pre-WW1 era collective led by Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, Schoenberg's tonality-shattering String Quartet No. 2 with the mesmerizing American soprano Ariadne Greif, as well as a new song cycle written by Colin Jacobsen, the violinist of quartet and The Knights ensemble.
