[sold out] Brooklyn Rider

The celebrated New York-based string quartet Brooklyn Rider presents The 4 Elements: a reference to the subtle interplay between four string players, but also to the disturbing state of the earth. Brooklyn Rider selected four chamber music works from the past 100 years which symbolise earth, fire, water and air. In addition they asked several contemporary composers to write a musical wake-up call for the climate.
