Brooklyn Plays Brooklyn Presents: Rhythm Method at a Lefferts Manor Home!

Join us for an afternoon of highly-acclaimed chamber music from the Rhythm Method, hosted at a private Lefferts Manor house! Light refreshments and drinks will be served.

Praised as “fierce, fearless, and virtuosic… unapologetically stylistically omnivorous and versatile” (New Music Box) and “trailblazing...skillful composer-performers” (The New Yorker), The Rhythm Method strives to reimagine the string quartet in a contemporary, feminist context. The four performer-composers of The Rhythm Method continually expand their sonic and expressive palette through the use of improvisation, vocalization, graphic notation, songwriting, and theater.
The Rhythm Method has given performances at Roulette, Joe’s Pub, The Stone, the Met Museum, the Americas Society, and the Noguchi Museum, and has been featured at the Lucerne Festival Forward, MATA Festival, Ukrainian Contemporary Music Festival, American Composers Orchestra’s Sonic Festival, Music Mondays, and TriBeCa New Music, among others. The quartet tours regularly both in the US and abroad, and has performed internationally in France, Austria, and Switzerland. The Rhythm Method seeks to nurture ongoing relationships with universities and schools, cultivating multifaceted creativity and musicianship in students of all ages. They have been in residence at Tulane University, Zurich University for Art and Music, Hunter College, Berklee School of Music, Boston Conservatory, Bowling Green State University’s College of Musical Arts, Arkansas State University, and New York University, and they serve as the quartet-in-residence for Lake George Music Festival’s Composers Institute.
