TownMusic: Brooklyn Rider

Great Hall; enter on 8th Avenue. $10-$25.
Formed while working in Yo Yo Ma’s globetrotting ensemble the Silk Road Project, Brooklyn Rider was born out of a desire to use the rich medium of the string quartet as a vehicle for borderless communication. Back for a return TownMusic performance, the group—featuring violinists Johnny Gandelsman and Colin Jacobsen, violist Nicholas Cords, and cellist Eric Jacobson—builds programs that careen from the romantic to the contemporary.
