Summary: <p>The inventive and ever-evolving string quartet Brooklyn Rider proffers an omnivorous steady diet of new works, global collaborations, and interpretations of the standard quartet repertoire. On its latest, <em>Spontaneous Symbols</em>, the quartet presents recent works from a closely knit family of composers, including their own violinist Colin Jacobsen. Hear a portion of Jacobsen’s “BTT,” in which there is wrestling with chaos and cosmic order (via the framework of John Cage & J.S. Bach.) Also, listen to the work by Brooklyn guitarist/composer Kyle Sanna - his episodic musical essay “Sequence for Minor White” - which looks to the mid-century American photographer and founder of Aperture Magazine.</p> <p>The new music champions of the string quartet Brooklyn Rider join us in-studio. </p> <p><a href="http://brooklynrider.bandcamp.com/album/spontaneous-symbols">Spontaneous Symbols by Brooklyn Rider</a></p>
