In a Circle Records Presents...
Dominant Curve
Brooklyn Rider CD Release Party + Art Gallery Opening
Brooklyn Rider would love to invite you to a celebration of our new album, Dominant Curve (released on In a Circle Records), along with a one-night-only showing of the Brooklyn Rider Art Gallery on Monday, March 15 at one of our favorite venues in New York—the Angel Orensanz Foundation. We are excited to take this opportunity to perform the album in its entirety. Along with the album's centerpiece, Claude Debussy's String Quartet in G minor, we will present four new works created for Brooklyn Rider in 2009 by our friends: Kojiro Umezaki, Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky and Justin Messina, as well as our very own composer-in-residence, violinist Colin Jacobsen.
The extraordinary fin de siècle world of Claude Debussy and his friendship with many well-known musicians, writers, and artists of his day serves as a model and source of inspiration for us. In this spirit, the March 15 event will also introduce the Brooklyn Rider Art Gallery, normally exhibited as a virtual gallery housed on this website. The gallery celebrates artists of diverse backgrounds and means of expression who are united by common creative energies and through their friendships with the members of Brooklyn Rider. On display for one night only will be selected works of Golnar Adili, Mary Frank, William Merkens, Kevork Mourad and Andrew Nofsinger. Boston-based artist Lennie Peterson's visual responses to the music on Dominant Curve, which are featured in the album's accompanying booklet, will be exhibited as well.
We hope you join us for this very special night. You'll find all the info you need below. We encourage you to get tickets soon!
