Avi Avital:

Instead of being pushed back in our seats in stunned reaction to Mr. Avital’s formidable technique, we crane toward him, hoping to absorb more.

—Wall Street Journal

Brooklyn Rider:

They are four classical musicians performing with the energy of young rock stars jamming on their guitars.

—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The first mandolin soloist to be nominated for a classical Grammy, Avi Avital has been hailed for his incredible virtuosity and his “explosively charismatic” (New York Times) live performances. Contemporary string quartet Brooklyn Rider is known for its gripping performances and appetite for musical adventure, finding equal inspiration in various musical languages, from Persian classical music to contemporary American roots music.

Their brand-new collaborative project celebrates fearless musical innovators and features new commissions, arrangements, and interpretations of music by Bach, Philip Glass, John Zorn, and more.
