SUMMARY:Brooklyn Rider
DESCRIPTION:Our season finale features the incredible Brooklyn Rider -a string quartet pushing the genre’s boundaries. \n—————————————————————————— \nBROOKLYN RIDER \nJohnny Gandelsman\, violin \nColin Jacobsen\, violin \nNicholas Cords\, viola \nMichael Nicolas\, cello \n—————————————————————————— \nPROGRAM – THE SANDBOX OF INVENTION \nFranz Joseph Haydn: String Quartet in C Major; Op. 20 No. 2 \nThe Brooklyn Rider Alamanac: Selections from Book II (Clarice Assad; Tyshawn Sorey; Giovanni Sollima; Gabriel Kahane) \nSofia Gubaidulina: Reflections on the Theme B-A-C-H \nRobert Schumann: String Quartet in A minor\, Op. 41 No. 1 \n—————————————————————————— \n“They are four classical musicians performing with the energy of young rock stars jamming on their guitars\, a Beethoven-goes-indie foray into making classical music accessible but also celebrating why it was good in the first place.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette \nWith their gripping performance style and unquenchable appetite for musical adventure\, Brooklyn Rider has carved a singular space in the world of string quartets over their fifteen-plus year history. Defining the string quartet as a medium with deep historic roots and endless possibility for invention\, they find equal inspiration in musical languages ranging from late Beethoven to Persian classical music to American roots music to the endlessly varied voices of living composers. Claiming no allegiance to either end of the historical spectrum\, Brooklyn Rider most comfortably operates within the long arc of the tradition\, seeking to illuminate works of the past with fresh insight while coaxing the malleable genre into the future through an inclusive programming vision\, deep-rooted collaborations with a wide range of global tradition bearers\, and the creation of thoughtful and relevant frames for commissioning projects. \nThe upcoming concert season is strongly illustrative of the intrepid musical appetite of Brooklyn Rider. This fall\, they began unveiling a major new commissioning and programmatic venture called The Four Elements; an exploration of the four classical elements (earth\, air\, water\, and fire) as metaphor for both the complex inner world of the string quartet and the current health of planet Earth. Featuring new commissions – each based on an element – by Andreia Pinto Correia\, Conrad Tao\, Dan Trueman\, and Akshaya Tucker\, this project also features existing works from the repertoire including Shostakovich’s 8th String Quartet\, Dutilleux’s Ainsi la nuit\, Golijov’s Tenebrae\, and American folk music collected by Ruth Crawford\, newly arranged by Brooklyn Rider’s own Colin Jacobsen. This winter\, the quartet will also release The Wanderer\, their first ever live concert recording\, made at Paliesius Manor in eastern Lithuania while on tour last spring. The album consists of two works written recently for Brooklyn Rider: Gonzalo Grau’s Aroma a distancia and Osvaldo Golijov’s Um Dia bom. Also featured is Brooklyn Rider’s signature interpretation of Schubert’s iconic “Death and the Maiden” string quartet. This season also sees the quartet reuniting with Magos Herrera across the U.S. for their Dreamers project. Looking further into the future\, they will expand work already underway with Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmah\, including the future release of a collaborative album. \nBrooklyn Rider has remained steadfast in their commitment to generate new music for string quartet at nearly every phase of their history. To kick off the 2017-18 season\, Brooklyn Rider released Spontaneous Symbols (In a Circle Records)\, featuring new commissions by Tyondai Braxton\, Evan Ziporyn\, Paula Matthusen\, Kyle Sanna\, and Colin Jacobsen. In the 2015-16 season\, the group celebrated its tenth anniversary with the groundbreaking multi-disciplinary project The Brooklyn Rider Almanac\, for which it recorded and toured 15 specially commissioned works by musicians from the worlds of folk\, jazz\, and indie rock\, each inspired by a different artistic muse. The Fiction Issue\, with singer-songwriter Gabriel Kahane\, featured his composition which was premiered in 2012 at Carnegie Hall by Kahane\, Brooklyn Rider\, and Shara Nova. Additionally\, Brooklyn Rider has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the music of the iconic American composer Philip Glass\, which began with 2011’s much-praised recording Brooklyn Rider Plays Philip Glass and continued with two subsequent installments of Glass’s works for string quartet\, all released on the composer’s label Orange Mountain Music. \nNumerous other collaborations have helped give rise to NPR Music’s observation that Brooklyn Rider is “recreating the 300-year-old form of string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century ensemble.” During the 2016-17 season\, Brooklyn Rider released an album entitled So Many Things on Naïve Records with Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter\, comprising music by Colin Jacobsen\, Caroline Shaw\, John Adams\, Nico Muhly\, Björk\, Sting\, Kate Bush and Elvis Costello\, among others. Some Of A Thousand Words\, an evening-length program with choreographer Brian Brooks and former New York City Ballet prima ballerina Wendy Whelan\, was an intimate series of duets and solos in which the quartet’s live onstage music is a dynamic and central creative component. Some Of A Thousand Words was featured at the 2016 Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival\, before two U.S. tours\, including a week-long run at New York City’s Joyce Theater. A collaboration with Dance Heginbotham with music written by Colin Jacobsen resulted in Chalk And Soot\, an evening-length work presented by Lincoln Center’s White Lights Festival in 2014. Brooklyn Rider has also frequently teamed up with banjoist Béla Fleck\, with whom they appeared on two different albums\, 2017’s Juno Concerto and 2013’s The Impostor. And in one of their longest-standing musical friendships to date\, Brooklyn Rider and Iranian kamancheh player Kayhan Kalhor released the highly praised recording Silent City (World Village) in 2008\, still touring the project to this day.

Raw. Beautiful Texas Grit.\nHip Pocket Theatre opens its historic gates to host + hold this deeply rooted exploration of embodied poetry + creative investigation under a vast open sky. \nHip Pocket Theatre\, as both experimental playhouse and environmental visual installation\, has a long-standing outreach program comprising community based events and enriching healing arts programming. It is dedicated now\, as always\, to bringing guest artists from around the globe and throughout Fort Worth to collaborate on projects each season. \nHip Pocket Theatre has been a vital part of the performing arts in Texas since 1976\, when founders Johnny Simons\, Diane Simons\, and Douglas Balentine first staged their interdisciplinary plays under the stars in Fort Worth. Since its founding\, the theater has grown its global reach and capacity for genre-defying programming\, while staying true to the bold\, playful\, and magical. \nHip Pocket incorporates dance\, mime\, music\, masks\, and puppetry to create a universal language that can tell stories at once childlike and urgent. The scripts\, the stage\, and the performers at Hip Pocket build on a lexicon unique to its pioneering roots\, and each performance is an homage to what it means to create a space for theater. \nHip Pocket honors the new vision of each artistic generation as an unfolding of time. Johnny and Diane’s daughters\, Lorca and Lake\, now carry the theater’s vision forward with their new directorship. They embody Hip Pocket’s evolving vocabulary of storytelling and movement\, and as veteran creators for its stage\, look to expand its legacy of original\, boundary-bending works. As Lorca and Lake bring with them lifelong careers and experience in the arts\, they conscientiously seek to prioritize the theater’s accessibility\, inclusivity\, and international reach. \nLearn more about HPT: www.hippocket.org
