Christina Courtin and Brooklyn Rider
6.12.11 10PM doors | 10:30PM show | 18+ Christina Courtin- As anyone who’s caught one of Christina Courtin’s live performances can attest, the New York City–based musician decisively takes over whatever space she’s occupying, her long dark hair flying behind her as she paces the stage, her voice malleable and otherworldly, an irrepressible smile on her face throughout. It’s not simply youthful bravado but a kind of rapture that possesses her—the unalloyed pleasure of singing, connecting, pouring out as much of her heart as possible in an all-too-brief set. Brooklyn Rider- The adventurous, genre-defying string quartet Brooklyn Rider combines a wildly eclectic repertoire with a gripping performance style that is attracting legions of fans and drawing critical acclaim from classical, world and rock critics. NPR credits Brooklyn Rider with “recreating the 300-year-old form of string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century ensemble."” The musicians play in concert halls and clubs, in venues as varied as Joe's Pub in New York City, the San Francisco Jazz Festival, Todai-ji Temple in Japan, the Library of Congress and the South By Southwest Festival. Through creative programming and global collaborations, Brooklyn Rider illuminates music for its audiences in ways that are “stunningly imaginative” (Lucid Culture).
