SF Performances PIVOT: Brooklyn Rider with Nicholas Phan, tenor
SEE EVENT DETAILS
The dynamic string quartet Brooklyn Rider, together with tenor Nicholas Phan will present a program featuring Nico Muhly and other works.
Brooklyn Rider makes chamber music intense and immediate with rock-and-roll energy and vibrantly eclectic programs. Classical and pop critics alike credit the group with what NPR sums up as "recreating the 300-year-old form of string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century ensemble.".
With 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-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.
American tenor Nicholas Phan is increasingly recognized as an artist of distinction. Described by the Boston Globe as "one of the world's most remarkable singers". Praised for his keen intelligence, captivating stage presence and natural musicianship, he performs regularly with the world's leading orchestras and opera companies.
The program will include:
NICO MUHLY: Stranger (West Coast Premiere)
plus other works
$65/$55/$45.
Presented by San Francisco Performances
