Brooklyn Rider

• Nicholas Cords: viola;
• Johnny Gandelsman: violin;
• Colin Jacobsen: violin;
• Eric Jacobsen: cello.

• Avi Avital: mandolin.

Tonight's show was another short-but-good 'un. I liked Caroline Shaw's Entr'acte best, though the Boccherini piece comes a very close second! It's interesting how far these works all stray from the typical string quartet repertoire. Kudos to Brooklyn Rider for putting the show together!
