Brooklyn Rider (Richard Frank)
Brooklyn Rider embraces the modern music movement with the raw energy and form of the classical string quartet. Long-time participants in Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project, the group has performed cross-cultural music throughout the world — as well as having established a strong presence on the New York music scene. We hear a piece by violinist (and member) Colin Jacobsen that uses gypsy themes in tribute to the group's base of operations, "Brooklesca" ("in the Brooklyn style").
