BRATTLEBORO â A globally known string quartet will perform with a clarinetist and a percussionist at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center this weekend.
Next Stage Arts in Putney will host Brooklyn Rider with Kinan Azmeh on clarinet and Mathias Kunzli on percussion for âStarlighterâ on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
âBrooklyn Rider is easily the most globally known artist weâre working with this summer, and itâs a natural fit to partner with BMAC,â said Keith Marks, executive director of Next Stage Arts. âWe were able to book them because they recorded at Guilford Sound this week. They recorded Phillip Glassâ music, nominated for a Grammy Award this year, and are seen as rising stars in the chamber music scene. This is a show youâd have to drive into New York to see. Iâm proud that weâre hosting them in our community.â
