Brooklyn Rider Sunday, February 14, 2010 :: 3:00 p.m. The quartet’s name is inspired in part by the creations, interests and cross disciplinary visions of the Blue Rider group; an artistic association comprised of Vassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Arnold Schoenberg and Alexander Scriabin, to name a few. The quartet also draws additional inspiration from the exploding array of cultures and artistic energy found in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City, a place they also call home.
