Healing Modes presents Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet opus 132 in a minor, which contains in its third movement one of the most profound expressions of healing in the string quartet repertoire, alongside five new commissions exploring the subject of healing from a wide range of cultural and historical perspectives. The composers include Reena Esmail, Gabriela Lena Frank, Matana Roberts, and Pulitzer Prize winners Du Yun and Caroline Shaw. "(Healing Modes)...could not possibly be more relevant or necessary than it is currently." –The New York Times "I don’t believe I’ve ever experienced the radical emotional range of Op. 132’s long, slow movement — with its liberating, dancing interjections — more intensely than when listening to the entirety of Healing Modes.” –The New York Times Caroline Shaw - Schisma Gabriela Lena Frank - Kanto Kechua #2 Matana Roberts - borderlands Du Yun - my own achilles heel Reena Esmail - Zeher Ludwig van Beethoven - String Quartet Opus 132 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc54446e5c7695ca9b849fe/1619113233269-GDHZKFKLHRNQBORUOGNE/Healing+Modes+Composers.jpg Healing Modes From upper left: Caroline Shaw, Gabriela Lena Frank, Du Yun, Reena Esmail & Matana Roberts https://www.brooklynrider.com/tour daily 0.75 2021-05-13 https://www.brooklynrider.com/pagep-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc54446e5c7695ca9b849fe/1614117614069-Q0S6YLYT858DEFNTD1PP/Kinan+Azmeh+Project.jpg Kinan Azmeh & Brooklyn Rider - Celebrating a musical relationship spanning over a decade, we join Syrian clarinet virtuoso Kinan Azmeh in a unique collaborative program that expands the notion of the clarinet quintet into a 21st-century ensemble.

Experimentalism is always more rewarding when it leads to resounding emotional depth, and this is as good an example as you'll find of a group of musicians achieving that ideal balance.” –Pitchfork “A knockout.” –LA Times “An unhurried delicateness...subtle virtuosity and unspoken emotion.” –RootsWorld https://www.brooklynrider.com/brooklyn-rider-plays-philip-glass-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc54446e5c7695ca9b849fe/1613516371776-QJF4XV8X3WS812ANTVLW/Sun+on+Sand.jpg Joshua Redman & Brooklyn Rider - Released in October 2019, this album comprises eight compositions from a suite by composer Patrick Zimmerli.

Kahane and Brooklyn Rider exemplify current musical impulses, honoring the stylistic gamut of omnivorous curiosity.” –The Boston Globe “(Fiction Issue)...a post-Sept.11 piece of art, concerned with the ways a society carries on after collective tragedy.” –The New York Times “The performances on the album are stunning.

The evening includes the duet “First Fall”, which Wendy and Brian first developed for Restless Creature (co-produced by The Joyce Theater in 2013). “First Fall” bears testament to the personal friendship and effervescent artistic chemistry which emerged from these two collaborators.

With vocalists Shara Nova (of My Brightest Diamond) and Gabriel Kahane as muses, Colin sets the absurd, colorful, figurative, and pastoral scenes of Kandinsky’s proto-Dadaist poetry from 1912 (during the time of the Der Blaue Reiter – inspiration for our quartet’s name) in an eclectic manner, mirroring the diverse artistic inspirations of Kandinsky and his circle of artists that also included composer Arnold Schoenberg. https://www.brooklynrider.com/martin-hayes-brooklyn-rider-1-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc54446e5c7695ca9b849fe/1613506860078-4E4RFQU777T9KZ1HAF89/Silent+City.jpg Kayhan Kalhor & Brooklyn Rider (Copy) - Our longstanding musical friendship with the revered Persian kamancheh virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor represents one of our core collaborations.

These artists have transcended the brutality through their work, work that represents love for humanity, love for democracy, and the inspiration to dream. Featuring evocative arrangements by Jaques Morelenbaum, Diego Schissi, Gonzalo Grau, Guillermo Klein, and Colin Jacobsen, we invite you to dream with us.

In parallel, the unique musical ecosystem of the string quartet is a balance of four equal and living elements, collectively capable of giving voice to the vast beauties and mysteries of our world as well as the highly destructive forces which, taken together, represent the single greatest challenge of our time. In their latest project, Brooklyn Rider has assembled a novel program anchored by four works symbolically representing earth, air, fire, water. All created (or collected) within the last century of accelerated and unprecedented planetary change, Brooklyn Rider has additionally asked four brilliant composers* to write new works that reflect current realities and serve as a musical call to action.

Healing Modes presents Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet opus 132 in a minor, which contains in its third movement one of the most profound expressions of healing in the string quartet repertoire, alongside five new commissions exploring the subject of healing from a wide range of cultural and historical perspectives. The composers include Reena Esmail, Gabriela Lena Frank, Matana Roberts, and Pulitzer Prize winners Du Yun and Caroline Shaw. "(Healing Modes)...could not possibly be more relevant or necessary than it is currently." –The New York Times "I don’t believe I’ve ever experienced the radical emotional range of Op. 132’s long, slow movement — with its liberating, dancing interjections — more intensely than when listening to the entirety of Healing Modes.” –The New York Times https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc54446e5c7695ca9b849fe/1619113233269-GDHZKFKLHRNQBORUOGNE/Healing+Modes+Composers.jpg Healing Modes (Copy) From upper left: Caroline Shaw, Gabriela Lena Frank, Du Yun, Reena Esmail & Matana Roberts https://www.brooklynrider.com/martin-hayes-brooklyn-rider-1-3 daily 0.75 2021-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc54446e5c7695ca9b849fe/1614098769423-3OF3N2ORWDUF32FFT0ED/Kayhan+Kalhor+%26+Brooklyn+Rider.jpg Kayhan Kalhor & Brooklyn Rider (Copy) - Our longstanding musical friendship with the revered Persian kamancheh virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor represents one of our core collaborations. Documented in the landmark 2008 World Village recording Silent City, together we have traveled across the globe, drawing on shared experiences to create a boundless musical exploration both ancient and contemporary, bridging traditions between Persia and the West. World Music’s Best Albums of the Decade –Rhapsody “Silent City has something for nearly everyone — classical music fans will appreciate the fine quality of the playing, world music aficionados will enjoy the cross-cultural currents, and it's very easy to see kids reared on post-rock and minimalist electronic music feeling at home here (if you've ever liked anything released on Kranky, you're almost certain to enjoy this). Experimentalism is always more rewarding when it leads to resounding emotional depth, and this is as good an example as you'll find of a group of musicians achieving that ideal balance.” –Pitchfork “A knockout.” –LA Times “An unhurried delicateness...subtle virtuosity and unspoken emotion.” –RootsWorld https://www.brooklynrider.com/martin-hayes-brooklyn-rider-1-2-1 daily 0.75 2021-05-14 https://www.brooklynrider.com/citizenship-notes daily 0.75 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc54446e5c7695ca9b849fe/fad9fde5-b94d-4a55-95c3-47aa0524c196/1200px-Constitution_We_the_People.jpg https://www.brooklynrider.com/star-crossed daily 0.75 2024-11-10 https://www.brooklynrider.com/merch daily 0.75 2020-11-30 https://www.brooklynrider.com/merch/p/album-c28fy monthly 0.5 2019-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce470bcbc4af100017f26ef/1559239305946-8YAZ1PJNKR27G7ZSZR8U/record.jpg Merch - Album https://www.brooklynrider.com/merch/p/t-shirt-jmrw6 monthly 0.5 2019-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce470bcbc4af100017f26ef/1559239243077-DDO30R8KMU5O0609V57E/t-shirt-square.jpg Merch - T-Shirt https://www.brooklynrider.com/merch/p/poster-56694 monthly 0.5 2019-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce470bcbc4af100017f26ef/1559238478129-NJC9E8I8NL3EDARG7FDQ/poster-3.jpg Merch - Poster
