Brooklyn Rider Performs at DUPAC 2/14

The genre-defying string quartet Brooklyn Rider deftly employs creative programming and exciting collaborations to illuminate music in fresh ways and invite their audiences into a shared experience. Uniquely capable of addressing a wide and inclusive range of music, they are as willing to explore the world of Haydn and Debussy as they are in the music of our time. They have performed in venues as varied as Joe's Pub in NYC, the Todai-ji Temple in Nara, Japan, and the San Francisco Jazz Festival.

Brooklyn Rider will perform Sunday, February 14 at the Lund Auditorium at 3:00 pm. Tickets are $22. To buy tickets or to find more information visit http://www.dom.edu/pac.

The dynamic musical profile of Brooklyn Rider has been featured on WNYC's Soundcheck and Minnesota Public Radio's, Performance Today, and their recordings have been played across North America on radio programs that range in focus from classical to world to jazz to pop to new music.

Much of Brooklyn Rider's desire to extend the borders of conventional string quartet programming has been through their longstanding participation in Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble. As individual members of the ensemble, they have performed throughout the world, recorded three albums for Sony Classical, and have reached audiences through a series of educational initiatives, family concerts and media broadcasts.

The Dominican University Performing Arts Center is an accessible, comfortable home for the creative spirit, located just 10 miles west of Chicago's Loop. The center presents shows in two halls, Lund Auditorium (with less than 1,200 seats) and Martin Recital Hall (an intimate 180-seat setting); both are located in the Fine Arts Building at 7900 West Division Street in River Forest. Each venue offers superb acoustics, ideal sightlines and ample, free parking.
