The genre-defying ensemble celebrates works that push the boundaries of the string quartet in a program bridging past and present. Jazz and indie rock greats Bill Frisell, Nik Bärtsch (Ronin), Shara Warden (My Brightest Diamond), Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Padma Newsome (The National), and Ethan Iverson (The Bad Plus) have been asked to create a canopy of connected works that make up The Brooklyn Rider Almanac.
