DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Brooklyn Rider=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.sparkoc.com/event/detail/440587909=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2010-02-10=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2010-02-10=0D=0A=0D=0AFrom the ensemble's name, you'd never know they're a classical string quartet. It's all part of the boundary-defying venture of these four innovative young players, who in addition to maintaining a claim on the mainstream classical repertoire have worked together on cross-cultural, cross-genre projects such as Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble. They're hip in a geeky Brooklyn way (suspenders, facial hair). They're passionate and knowledgeable about art: their ensemble's name makes reference to the Blue Rider group in expressionist painting nearly a century ago. They do shows in clubs, galleries, and the occasional Buddhist temple. Everyone but the cellist plays standing up, and when the music calls for it, they dig into their instruments with the exuberance of racehorses let out of the barn.  =0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:Wednesday 8:00pm
