Iconoclastic Brooklyn Rider has been credited by NPR with "recreating the 300-year-old form of string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century ensemble."
"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
