Episode #3206
With Brooklyn Rider & Martin Hayes
Wednesday, May 18, 2011
The new music string quartet Brooklyn Rider certainly does get around. They’ve been part of Yo Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, recorded Debussy, write and perform their own originals, and even collaborated with the kemenchech (Persian fiddle) virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor. They’ve just released a record of all five string quartets by Philip Glass. Brooklyn Rider joins us in the studio for this New Sounds program, and they’ve brought an extra player – the Celtic fiddler Martin Hayes (of County Clare.)
We’ll hear (and SEE) the quartet performing arrangements of fiddle tunes in a new collaboration with Hayes, music by Philip Glass, and a piece by Brooklyn Rider violinist Colin Jacobsen called "Achilles Heel.”
Watch Brooklyn Rider and Martin Hayes perform a medley of Celtic fiddle tunes:

Music From the Roof of the World
There's music recorded in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan on this New Sounds program. Composer/vocalist Meredith Monk has just returned from a trip to India and Bhutan where she obtained recordings of young musicians striving - via the talent show, "Bhutan Star,"- to keep the traditional sounds of Bhutanese music alive. The program is an "American Idol"-esque talent show which forces contestants to sing the nation's fading traditional songs.
