Launching its 20th anniversary season,  Brooklyn Rider draws on some of its nascent days as master interpreters of composer Philip Glass and brings the first-ever performance of Glass's complete works for string quartet to the Schwarzman Center. “As we play Glass,” describes the ensemble, “we are pulled into a world where our sensitivities blend, are transparent and our tone takes on a heightened color based on the synergistic combination of interlocking patterns and elemental harmonies.” The work blends the gossamer-like voices of classical music and the pulsating energy of New York with the drone-base textures of world music to create a stimulating performance. The quartet has performed in venues from New York City’s Jazz at Lincoln Center to Mexico City’s Deco masterpiece, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, and earned praise from classical and rock fans alike as “the future of chamber music” (Strings).
