Brooklyn Rider

The Cedar and Kate Nordstrum Projects presents Brooklyn Rider in collaboration with Stillwater Music Festival. An all Philip Glass program featuring the Minnesota premiere of Suite for String Quartet from Bent.

Brooklyn Rider's most recent recording, Brooklyn Rider plays Philip Glass (released in 2011 on the composer's label, Orange Mountain Music), includes the 5 string quartets of Philip Glass plus the world premiere recording of Suite for String Quartet from "Bent." Referring to Brooklyn Rider’s recording of the 3rd String quartet, The Huffington Post raved: “Brooklyn Rider's interpretation of Glass's tense, melancholic vision is a cathartic and delicate masterpiece.” The evening will present a selection of these works in the intimate environment of The Cedar, including the MN premiere of the Suite from "Bent."

The dazzling fingers-in-every-pie versatility that Brooklyn Rider exhibits is one of the wonders of contemporary music.  (LA Times)

The Cedar is now fully air-conditioned for your year-round comfort!
