Concentus Moraviae: Brooklyn Rider

In its program Citizenship Notes, the Brooklyn Rider Quartet presents itself as a microcosmic democracy, a strongly engaged ecosystem of equal voices with clear rights and responsibilities. The program also celebrates a significant milestone in the history of Western democracy: the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. Three commissioned compositions by Don Byron, Ted Hearn, and Angélica Negrón explore issues of citizenship and democracy in the 21st century; a look at Bob Dylan’s classic from the civil rights era is translated by quartet member Colin Jacobsen.
