Brooklyn Rider & Maeve Gilchrist

The Academy Center of the Arts and Forte Chamber Music Ensemble presents Brooklyn Rider & Maeve Gilchrist at the Historic Academy Theatre on March 14, 2020.

ā€œIf thereā€™s a soundtrack to a fine summer, this is it. If thereā€™s a musician who can bask in tradition yet immerse herself musically in the multicoloured experience of life, itā€™s Gilchrist.ā€ ā€”Siobhan Long, Irish Times

ā€œMusical imagination may be ineffable, but you recognize it when you hear it, and Brooklyn Rider has it in spades.ā€ ā€”The Washington Post

In this adventurous new collaboration, Brooklyn Rider, ā€œa string quartet of boundless imaginationā€ (NPR Music), and Celtic harp virtuoso Maeve Gilchrist, ā€œa phenomenal harpist who makes her instrument ring with unparalleled purityā€ (Dirty Linen), come together to celebrate the roots and branches of Celtic music as both an ancient tradition and a living art form. Drawing from newly imagined settings of traditional repertoire, works composed for Brooklyn Rider, and material from Gilchristā€™s groundbreaking new album the Harp Weaver, this evening will meld the string quartet with an emblem of ancient Ireland in a handshake between two traditions that is both timeless and breathtakingly new.
