Brooklyn Rider: Musical Omnivores
"Brooklyn Rider" is musically omnivorous. Every member of this string quartet is classically-trained, but having toured with Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road Ensemble for ten years now, they're open to musical flavors from around the world. They'll join Fred in the studio for day two of music and conversation. Brooklyn Rider will play the final movement from Dvorak's "American" Quartet, a set of hauntingly beautiful Armenian folk songs, and a wildly eclectic piece by a member of the group, Colin Jacobsen.
