New York-based string quartet Brooklyn Rider is becoming increasingly known for its creative programming and exciting collaborations, which illuminate music in new ways and invite audiences into a shared experience.  This multi-faceted group embraces a wide and inclusive range of music; they are as willing to explore the world of Haydn as much as 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 musicians of Brooklyn Rider have enjoyed diverse careers in music that have intersected with each other over many years, and all are veterans of Yo Yo Ma's Silk Road Project.  Click here to be linked to Brooklyn Rider's website.
