Brooklyn Rider, a string quartet with rock-star energy, has carved a singular space in the classical world with their gripping performances and unquenchable thirst for musical exploration. They strive to bring fresh insight to classical works by collaborating with a wide range of global tradition bearers and commissioning projects that are thoughtful and relevant. All these endeavors give rise to NPR Music’s observation that Brooklyn Rider is “recreating the 300-year-old form of string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century ensemble.”
