The Cedar and Kate Nordstrum Projects presents Brooklyn Rider at the Cedar Cultural Center. During the evening Brooklyn Rider will focus on the lustrous world of Philip Glass's string quartets, which will include the MN premiere of the Suite for String Quartet from the film “Bent.” The group’s new album, Brooklyn Rider plays Philip Glass, released in 2011 on the composer's Orange Mountain Music label, includes all five string quartets and the world premiere recording of his Suite from "Bent." Of the third quartet The Huffington Post raved, “Brooklyn Rider's interpretation of Glass's tense, melancholic vision is a cathartic and delicate masterpiece.” Lucid Culture wrote, “Each [player] digs in with an intensity and a group vision that borders on the telepathic. It’s absolutely impossible to think of an ensemble better suited to these attractive, often absolutely beautiful pieces."
