Brooklyn Rider in the PT Studios
They take their name from New York City's most populous borough. But the string quartet that calls itself Brooklyn Rider specializes in crossing geographical and musical boundaries. Brooklyn Rider joined host Fred Child in the PT studios recently. In this weekend's show, we'll hear a couple of their genre-bending tunes, Gypsy music from Finland and an Argentinian tango.
